kertomuksenne

Kertomuksenne is a Finnish phrase that translates roughly to "your story" or "your account." It is a second-person possessive construction built from kertomus, meaning story, and is used when referring to the listener’s or readers’ own story in a formal or editorial context.

In terms of morphology, the base kertomus forms the genitive kertomuksen, to which the second-person plural possessive suffix -ne is attached, yielding a form such as kertomuksenne. In modern Finnish this is the standard way to express “your story” and is commonly encountered in written language addressing an audience. Some texts may show alternative spellings reflecting orthographic variation, but the meaning remains the same.

Käyttöalueen (usage) includes formal letters, editorials, literary narration, and any situation where a writer speaks to a group or a politely addressed individual and refers to their own narrative. It functions as a possessed noun phrase modifying the story, example sentences such as “Kertomuksenne on mielenkiintoinen” (Your story is interesting) or “Olen lukenut kertomuksenne” (I have read your story) illustrate its typical usage.

Notes on formality and variation: kertomuksenne is the standard contemporary form. Older or less common spellings like kertomuksenne may appear in some texts but are generally less typical in modern writing. The construction exemplifies Finnish possessive suffixes and the interaction between the genitive form of kertomus and the -nne suffix.
