kissamme

Kissamme is a Finnish word meaning "our cat." It is formed by combining the noun kissa (cat) with the first-person plural possessive suffix -mme, producing kissamme. The form functions as a noun phrase and is used to indicate ownership by the speaker and others in their household.

In ordinary Finnish, possessive suffixes attach to stems to create possessive forms. Kissamme is specifically the possessive form of kissa and is commonly used in everyday speech to refer to a cat belonging to the speaker and their family. The number of cats is not encoded in the word kissamme itself; context determines whether it refers to one cat or several cats.

Example: Kissamme nukkuu. translates to "Our cat is sleeping."

Kissamme is primarily encountered in informal language and in examples in language-learning materials illustrating Finnish possessive suffixes. It is one of several possessive forms used with animal nouns.
