ltäni

ltäni is a word of Finnish origin that translates to "my dog". It is a possessive form of the word "koira" (dog), with the suffix "-ni" indicating first-person singular possession. The word is commonly used in everyday conversation in Finland and by Finnish speakers elsewhere. It functions as a simple noun phrase, referring to a dog that belongs to the speaker. The pronunciation follows standard Finnish phonetic rules. The "l" sound is similar to the English "l", the "t" is a dental stop, the "ä" is an open front unrounded vowel similar to the "a" in "cat", and the "n" is a standard nasal consonant. The final "i" is a high front unrounded vowel, akin to the "ee" in "see". Therefore, "ltäni" is a straightforward and common term for expressing ownership of a canine companion in the Finnish language.
