ohjeensa

Ohjeensa is a Finnish noun form meaning “the instruction(s) belonging to someone.” It is the third-person singular possessive form of the noun ohje (instruction, guidance) and is used to refer to instructions provided by another person or entity. The phrase is commonly translated as “his/her instructions” or “its instructions,” depending on the context. In everyday language, ohjeensa mukaan means “according to his/her instructions.”

Formation and usage examples: The suffix -nsa marks third-person singular possession and is attached to ohje to yield ohjeensa. This construction appears in sentences such as Ohjeensa mukaan projekti etenee, meaning “The project proceeds according to his/her instructions,” or in contexts like Hän seurasi ohjeensa, meaning “He/she followed his/her instructions.” The possessor is understood from context or accompanying pronouns; the word itself does not encode the possessor beyond the context.

Context and related forms: Ohjeensa is most common in written or formal Finnish, including manuals, safety protocols, or reports, but also occurs in everyday speech. It is related to other possessive forms such as ohjeesi (“your instruction”) and to other phrases that refer to guidance more generally, such as ohjeistus or opas.
