aistinne

Aistinne is a Finnish noun phrase that means “your senses” or “your sense,” formed from the noun aisti, meaning sense or perception, with the second-person plural possessive suffix -nne. It is a standard grammatical construction in Finnish used to indicate ownership by the addressee or addressees. The form is commonly employed in sentences about perception, sensory ability, or sensory experiences addressed to one person or to a group.

The root aisti refers broadly to sense or perception, including various sensory modalities and perceptual faculties. The suffix -nne marks second-person plural possession and attaches directly to the noun stem. Finnish possessive suffixes are a characteristic feature of the language’s nominal morphology, enabling speakers to express ownership without separate possessive pronouns.

In usage, aistinne appears in both spoken and written Finnish. It typically appears with adjectives or verbs describing sensory status, such as phrases about perception or sensory ability, depending on the context. The form demonstrates how Finnish integrates possession into nouns without changing the core noun beyond the suffix.

Etymology and related terms: aisti is the base meaning “sense”; related forms include aistimus (perception) and aistikkaat, and the possessive suffixes system of Finnish grammar provides the broader morphological context for forms like aistinne.
