laajentumistaan

Laajentumistaan is a Finnish noun phrase meaning “its expansion” or “the expansion of it.” The form derives from the verb laajentua, meaning to expand, via the nominalization laajentuminen and a possessive suffix that marks ownership by the subject (for example, its, his, her, their expansion). In Finnish, such constructions are common in formal and technical writing when discussing growth, extension, or enlargement of a subject without repeating its name.

Usage and nuance: Laajentumistaan is used when the expansion belongs to or concerns the subject mentioned earlier. It often appears in phrases describing plans, impacts, or efforts related to expansion. The construction can combine with verbs such as koskea or valmistella: sen laajentumistaan koskevat suunnitelmat (the plans concerning its expansion) or laajentumistaan koskevat haasteet (the challenges related to its expansion).

Examples: Yrityksen laajentumistaan koskevat suunnitelmat julkistettiin tänä vuonna (The company's plans regarding its expansion were announced this year). Kaupungin laajentumistaan koskevat kysymykset herättivät kiistaa (The city's expansion-related questions sparked controversy).
