kustannuksensa

Kustannuksensa is a Finnish noun form that denotes the costs associated with a subject and translates roughly as “its cost” or “its costs” in English. It is formed from kustannus (cost, expense) combined with the third-person possessive suffix -nsä, resulting in kustannuksensa. In Finnish, possessive suffixes are attached directly to nouns to indicate ownership by a third party, without requiring a separate possessive pronoun.

Usage: The form is common in formal or analytical writing, especially in economics, budgeting, and policy discussions, where the costs of a project, organization, or entity are discussed from the perspective of that entity. The exact English rendering ("its cost" vs "its costs") depends on the referent and the surrounding context. The word is inflected for case like other Finnish nouns when embedded in sentences; the suffix does not by itself indicate number.

Notes: Kustannuksensa contrasts with kustannukset (costs, plural) and kustannus (cost). Related terms include kulut (expenses) and kustannuslaskenta (cost accounting).
