jättämiensä

The word "jättämiensä" is a Finnish grammatical form. It is the genitive plural partitive of the past active participle of the verb "jättää," which means to leave. Therefore, "jättämiensä" literally translates to "of those having been left by them" or more commonly understood as "their leaving" or "the things they left behind."

This form is used when referring to something that belongs to, or is possessed by, multiple subjects who performed the action of leaving. It typically appears in a possessive construction, indicating that the subsequent noun is related to the act of leaving by those subjects. For example, in a sentence like "Ymmärsin heidän jättämiensä tavaroiden arvon" (I understood the value of the things they left behind), "jättämiensä" shows that the "tavaroiden" (things) were left by "heidän" (them).

The usage of "jättämiensä" highlights a specific grammatical nuance in Finnish, where participles can be inflected to show possession and plurality. It is a relatively complex form, often encountered in more formal or literary Finnish. Understanding this form is crucial for comprehending the precise meaning of sentences involving past actions and possession by multiple individuals.
