esittämänsä

Esittämänsä is a Finnish word form built from the verb esittää (to present, to state, to perform) and is used to express “that which he/she presents” or “the thing he/she presents.” It functions as a nominalized relative construction and often acts as a modifier for a following noun, forming phrases such as esittämänsä ohjelma, meaning “the program he presents,” or esittämänsä väite, meaning “the claim he presents.” The form is most common in formal or literary Finnish and in written journalism, where speakers want to embed a reference to what someone has presented without repeating the noun.

Morphology and usage details are characteristic of Finnish participial and possessive systems. Esittämänsä is created by taking the present-participial stem related to esittää and adding the third-person possessive suffix -nsä (his/her). The result is a compound-like modifier that precedes a noun and specifies the content of the presenting activity. The phrase is typically placed before the noun it modifies, for example: Esittämänsä ohjelma herätti keskustelua (The program he presents sparked discussion). It can also appear in a broader clause structure where the relative sense is clear from context.

Semantically, esittämänsä conveys attribution: the thing in question is something that the subject has presented. The construction allows concise embedding of subordinate information about a presenter’s content and is distinct from a plain noun phrase or a finite relative clause in terms of style and emphasis. Plural forms exist for multiple presenters or items, such as esittämien sä, depending on the nouns involved.
