laulusävelensä

laulusävelensä is a Finnish word that translates to "his/her/its song's melody" or "his/her/its melodic tune". It is a compound word formed from "laulu" (song) and "sävel" (melody, tune) with the possessive suffix "-nsä" indicating third-person possession. The word refers specifically to the melodic line or tune of a song that belongs to someone or something.

The term is typically used in contexts discussing music, poetry, or the natural sounds of animals. For instance, one might describe the laulusävelensä of a particular composer, referring to the characteristic melodic patterns found in their compositions. Similarly, it can be used to describe the distinct melodic phrasing of a bird's song. The possessive aspect of the word highlights that the melody is an inherent quality or creation associated with the subject.

The grammatical structure of laulusävelensä is straightforward. "Laulu" means song. "Sävel" means melody or tune. The possessive suffix "-nsä" is attached to "sävel" to indicate that the melody belongs to a third person (he, she, it, they) or an object. This suffix is invariant regardless of the number or grammatical case of the possessor. Therefore, laulusävelensä always denotes a melody that is possessed by a singular or plural third-person entity.
