Tutkimuksenne

Tutkimuksenne is a Finnish noun phrase meaning “your research.” It is formed from the noun tutkimus (research) in its genitive form and the second-person possessive suffix -nne, which marks possession by the person or people being addressed. The combination yields a formal way to refer to research conducted by the addressee or their organization.

In Finnish, possessive suffixes attach to the noun and reflect the possessor. The suffix -nne signals second-person plural or polite singular address. As such, tutkimuksenne refers to the research belonging to the addressed party in formal contexts, often used in academic, professional, or official writing. The construction can be used with surrounding words in a sentence just like other genitive phrases, for example to express ownership or to discuss results and conclusions tied to the addressed researchers.

Usage and style: tutkimuksenne is common in formal correspondence, grant applications, peer reviews, and policy documents where a respectful tone is required. It signals that the writer is addressing colleagues or partners rather than speaking informally. The form can be contrasted with tutkimuksesi (your, informal singular) or tutkimukseni (my), illustrating Finnish’s nuanced possessive system.

Examples (illustrative): “Tämän tutkimuksenne tulokset ovat merkittäviä.” (“The results of your research are significant.”) “Tutkimuksenne suunnittelu osoittaa perusteellista valmistautumista.” The choice of form depends on the relationship between writer and addressee and the level of formality desired.
