Tyttönsä

"Tyttönsä" is a Finnish word. It is the genitive singular form of the noun "tyttö," which means "girl." The suffix "-nsä" is a possessive suffix indicating "his," "her," or "its." Therefore, "tyttönsä" translates to "his girl," "her girl," or "its girl."

In Finnish grammar, the genitive case is used to express possession, often corresponding to the English possessive "'s" or the possessive pronoun "of." The possessive suffix "-nsä" is a common way to indicate third-person possession. When attached to "tyttö," it specifies that the girl belongs to or is associated with someone or something in the third person.

For example, in the sentence "Hän näki tyttönsä" (He/She saw his/her girl), "tyttönsä" indicates that the girl is possessed by the subject of the sentence, "hän." The specific gender of the owner is determined by context, as "hän" can refer to both male and female individuals. The word itself does not inherently specify the gender of the possessor.

The grammatical structure of Finnish, which uses case endings and possessive suffixes, allows for concise expression of relationships between words. "Tyttönsä" is a good illustration of how these elements combine to convey meaning efficiently within the language.
