käsivarttaan

Käsivarttaan is a Finnish word that translates to "his/her/its arm" or "his/her/its arm" depending on the possessive suffix. In Finnish grammar, the possessive suffix is added to the noun to indicate ownership. The base word for arm is "käsivarsi". The "-aan" suffix specifically denotes the third-person singular possessive, meaning the arm belongs to "he," "she," or "it." For example, "Hän ojensi käsivarttaan" would mean "He/She extended his/her arm." The context of the sentence would determine whether it refers to a male, female, or non-human entity. This grammatical construction is common in Finnish and helps to convey ownership concisely within a single word. The word itself describes the upper limb of the human body, extending from the shoulder to the wrist. It is composed of bones, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels, and is crucial for a wide range of movements and activities.
