laukkujemme

Laukkujemme is a form that would be analyzed in Finnish as a noun laukku (bag) combined with the possessive suffix -mme, meaning “our.” In standard Finnish, however, the most common way to say “our bag” is lau kkumme, with the suffix attached directly to the singular noun. The similar system applies to plural nouns: laukut (bags) plus -mme yields laukuttamme, meaning “our bags.” The suffix -mme marks first-person plural possession and can be added to most nouns to form a possessive noun phrase without using a separate possessive pronoun.

In practice, writers and speakers typically prefer konkordant forms that align with Finnish spelling patterns. For a single bag, the conventional form is Laukkumme (Our bag). For multiple bags, the conventional form is Laukuttamme (Our bags). The possessive suffix is part of the word itself and does not require a separate possessive determiner in simple sentences.

Usage notes: Finnish normally combines the possessive suffix with the noun, and the verb agrees with the number of the possessed noun. You can also express possession with meidän before the noun (for example, meidän laukkumme), which is common in everyday speech and in more explicit style, but a fused form like lau kkumme is more compact and prevalent in standard writing.
