Tunteesi

Tunteesi is a Finnish word that functions as the possessive form of the noun tunne, which translates to feeling or emotion. Specifically, it refers to the emotional state or subjective experience of the person being addressed, meaning your feeling or your feelings. The term encompasses a wide spectrum of affective states, ranging from basic sensory perceptions to complex psychological moods such as joy, sorrow, anxiety, or affection. In Finnish grammar, the construction highlights the use of possessive suffixes, where the ending -si is attached to the word stem to indicate second-person singular ownership.

It is frequently employed in interpersonal communication to validate another person's experience or to inquire about their well-being, underscoring the significance of personal perspective and emotional awareness within the linguistic framework of the language.
