myöntämänsä

Myöntämänsä is a Finnish participial form derived from the verb myöntää, meaning to grant, approve, or admit. It functions as a reduced relative clause that expresses that something has been granted or approved by the subject of the main clause. The form carries a possessive suffix (nsä/sa) to indicate the owner of the action, and it is attached to a following noun as an attributive modifier. In effect it translates roughly as “that he granted” or “the … that he granted.”

As a grammatical construction, myöntämänsä is used to compactly describe nouns with a qualification about what the subject granted. Examples include phrases such as myöntämänsä luvat (the permits he granted), myöntämänsä ehdot (the terms he granted), and myöntämänsä avustus (the assistance he granted). The possessive suffix reflects the possessor in the main clause (for example, his, her, or their grants).

Usage and register: the form is common in formal, administrative, and legal Finnish, where concise, relative-clause-style expressions are preferred. It can replace a longer clause like "ehdot, jotka hän on myöntänyt" and is widely understood by native speakers. Because it is a participial construction, it agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case, and its sense depends on the context of the main clause.

Related forms and notes: myöntää is the base verb; the construction illustrates Finnish’s flexibility with participles to create compact modifiers. The form does not carry its own tense, but derives meaning from the main clause and the context in which it appears.
