lyhyytensä

Lyhyytensä is a Finnish word that translates to "its shortness" or "their shortness." It is the possessive form of the adjective "lyhyt" (short) in the third person singular or plural. The suffix "-nsä" indicates possession by a third party, whether it refers to a singular entity or multiple entities.

The word can be used in various contexts to describe the brevity of something. For example, "puheen lyhyytensä" would mean "the shortness of his/her/its speech." Similarly, "päivien lyhyytensä" could refer to "the shortness of their days" in a winter context. The grammatical structure of Finnish allows for the precise indication of possession, and "lyhyytensä" is a clear example of this. It's a functional term that contributes to the descriptive capabilities of the Finnish language, allowing speakers to convey concepts of brevity and ownership efficiently.
