keksintään

Keksintöään is a Finnish word that translates to "his/her/its invention" or "their invention" in English. It is the possessive form of the word "keksintö," which means "invention." The suffix "-ään" indicates possession by a third person singular or plural subject.

The term "keksintöään" is used when referring to an invention that belongs to or was created by a male, female, or a group of people. For example, one might say "Tämä on hänen keksintöään" which translates to "This is his/her invention." Similarly, "Heidän keksintöään" means "Their invention." The specific gender or number of the possessor is inferred from the context of the sentence.

Finnish, an agglutinative language, often modifies root words with suffixes to convey grammatical information, including possession. "Keksintöään" is a clear example of this linguistic feature, where the base word "keksintö" is combined with the possessive suffix "-ään" to denote ownership. This word is commonly encountered in discussions about innovation, patents, or any context where the origin or ownership of an invention is being discussed.
