Valikoimansa

Valikoimansa is a Finnish noun form built from valikoima, meaning selection or assortment, plus the third-person possessive suffix -nsa/-nsä. The result is a possessive construction that translates roughly to “its selection,” “his selection,” or “their selection,” depending on the subject of the sentence. The exact variant in this word is -ansa, which follows the harmony rules of Finnish phonology.

Morphologically, valikoimansa does not create a new noun independent of its possessor. Instead, it marks possession by a third-person subject and is typically followed by another noun that names what is possessed, for example valikoimansa tuotteet meaning “the products in its selection” or “the products of its catalog.” This form is common in business, retail, and catalog language to refer to what an organization or entity offers within its assortment.

Usage notes emphasize that valikoimansa is a grammatical construction rather than a proper noun. The possessor is clear from context, and in translation it can correspond to its, his, her, or their, depending on who is being referred to. Ambiguity can arise without an explicit antecedent.

Related terms include valikoima (the base noun meaning selection or assortment) and the Finnish possessive suffixes -ni, -si, -nsa/-nsä, which encode person and number. Valikoimansa serves as a concise example of how Finnish combines a noun with a possessive suffix to express ownership in noun phrases.
