keksinsä

Keksinsä is a Finnish word that translates to "his cookie" or "her cookie." It is a possessive form of the word "keksi," which means cookie or biscuit. The suffix "-nsä" indicates a third-person possessive, meaning the cookie belongs to someone else, not the speaker. This suffix can refer to either a male or female owner.

The word "keksinsä" is commonly used in everyday conversation and literature when referring to a cookie that belongs to a specific individual. For example, one might say "Hän söi keksinsä" which translates to "He/She ate his/her cookie." The context of the sentence would determine whether the owner is male or female.

While "keksi" itself is a general term for a cookie or biscuit, "keksinsä" specifically denotes ownership by a third party. This grammatical feature is a common characteristic of the Finnish language, where possessive suffixes are attached to nouns to indicate ownership. Other examples of third-person possessive suffixes in Finnish include "-nsä" for "his/her/its/their" and "-ni" for "my," "-si" for "your" (singular informal). The "-nsä" suffix is unique in its ability to refer to any third-person singular or plural subject, making it a versatile grammatical tool.
