Työkalujensa

"Työkalujensa" is a Finnish word, a possessive plural form of the word "työkalu," which translates to "tool." The ending "-nsa" is a possessive suffix indicating "his/her/its/their." Therefore, "työkalujensa" literally means "his/her/its/their tools."

In Finnish grammar, this form is used when referring to the tools belonging to a third person or entity, whether singular or plural. For example, if one were to say "He sharpened his tools," the Finnish translation might be "Hän teroitti työkalujensa." Similarly, if referring to "They brought their tools," it could be "He toivat työkalujensa." The specific context of the sentence clarifies whether it refers to a single owner or multiple owners.

The word itself highlights the Finnish language's agglutinative nature, where suffixes are added to a root word to convey grammatical information, including possession. Understanding these possessive suffixes is crucial for comprehending Finnish sentences and avoiding ambiguity regarding ownership. The word "työkalujensa" is a common example demonstrating how possession is marked in the language.
