Valuuttansa

Valuuttansa is a Finnish grammatical form meaning “its currency” or “his/her currency.” It is formed by adding the third-person possessive suffix -nsa/-nsä to the noun valuutta (currency). The suffix denotes ownership by a third-person subject (hän), and the resulting form is used when the possessor is indicated by context. The phrase is a normal part of Finnish grammar and not a separate lexical item with its own meaning beyond possession.

In usage, valuuttansa appears in sentences that refer to a currency belonging to a person or entity. Examples include: “Hänen valuuttansa vahvistui tänä vuonna” (His/her currency strengthened this year) and “Yrityksen valuuttansa hallinta on muuttunut” (The company’s management of its currency has changed). The form helps avoid repeating a possessor noun and allows fluid reference within a larger discourse.

Notes and nuances: valuuttansa is specifically a third-person possessive construction; other possessive forms exist for different persons (e.g., valuuttani for “my currency,” valuuttasi for “your currency”). Finnish possessive suffixes vary by person and sometimes by phonological harmony, but valuuttansa remains a common example of how possession is expressed on a noun like valuutta.
