hiuksensa

Hiuksensa is a Finnish possessive form meaning “his/her hair.” It is formed from hiukset, the plural noun for hair, plus the third-person possessive suffix -nsa or -nsä. The suffix indicates possession by a third person, and the choice between -nsa and -nsä follows Finnish vowel harmony. The word itself does not encode gender; whether it refers to a man or a woman is determined by context or accompanying pronouns.

In use, hiuksensa appears in sentences about someone’s hair. Examples include: Hän pesi hiuksensa. (He/she washed his/her hair.) Hiuksensa olivat pitkät. (His/her hair was long.) Hän harjasi hiuksensa. (He/she combed his/her hair.) The form is commonly found in everyday language as a compact way to refer to the hair owned by a previously mentioned or understood person.

Relation to other forms: hiuksensa is part of a broader pattern of Finnish possessive suffixes. For first person singular, the form is hiukseni (my hair); for second person singular, hiuksesi (your hair); for third person plural or single possessors, hiuksensa (his/her hair). These suffixes attach directly to the plural noun hiukset and adapt to vowel harmony.
