määräaikaansa

Määräaikaansa is a Finnish word that translates to "its deadline" or "his/her deadline." It is the third-person singular possessive form of the noun "määräaika," which means "deadline." The ending "-nsa" indicates possession by a third person, either singular or plural. Therefore, "määräaikaansa" refers to a deadline belonging to a specific entity or person.

The word is commonly used in contexts where tasks, projects, or applications have a designated end date. For example, one might say "hakemuksen määräaikaansa on ensi viikolla," meaning "the application's deadline is next week." It can also be used in a more general sense, such as "projekti on ylittämässä määräaikaansa," translating to "the project is exceeding its deadline." The grammatical structure emphasizes that the deadline is a specific one associated with the subject in question. Understanding the possessive suffix is key to correctly interpreting the sentence's meaning.
