jäsenensä

jäsenensä is a Finnish word. It is the possessive form of the word "jäsen," which means "member." Specifically, "jäsenensä" translates to "its member" or "his/her/their member." The ending "-nsä" indicates a third-person possessive suffix, meaning the member belongs to someone or something else previously mentioned.

This word is commonly used in contexts where an organization, group, or collective is being discussed, and the focus shifts to an individual within that group. For example, "Jokainen jäsenensä tuntee vastuunsa" would translate to "Every one of its members feels their responsibility." Here, "jäsenensä" refers to the members belonging to an unnamed entity.

The grammatical function of "jäsenensä" is that of a genitive pronoun, signifying possession. It attaches directly to the noun "jäsen" to denote that the member belongs to a third party. Understanding this possessive suffix is crucial for comprehending the nuances of Finnish grammar when discussing group affiliations and individual belonging within them.
