nenäänsä

Nenäänsä is a Finnish word that translates to "his/her/its nose" in English. It is the third-person singular possessive form of the word "nenä," which means "nose." The possessive suffix "-nsä" is used to indicate possession by the third person, whether singular or plural. Therefore, "nenäänsä" specifically refers to the nose belonging to "him," "her," or "it."

The word is commonly used in everyday Finnish conversation. For example, one might say "Hän pesi nenäänsä" which means "He/She washed his/her nose." Similarly, if referring to an animal, one could say "Koira nuuhki nenäänsä" meaning "The dog sniffed its nose." The grammatical structure is consistent across various contexts where third-person possession of the nose is being discussed.

The word "nenäänsä" is an example of Finnish agglutination, where suffixes are added to a root word to convey grammatical information. In this case, the root "nenä" (nose) is combined with the possessive suffix "-nsä" to create a single word that encapsulates both the object and its owner. This grammatical feature is characteristic of the Finnish language.
