omistuspräpositio

Omistuspräpositio, also known as possessive preposition, is a grammatical structure found in some languages, notably Finnish, where it indicates possession or ownership. It is a specific type of preposition that is used to express the relationship between a possessor and the possessed object. In Finnish, the omistuspräpositio is typically the preposition "of" or "from," which is used to indicate that one thing belongs to another. For example, in the phrase "kirja on minun," which translates to "the book is mine," the preposition "minun" (my) is an omistuspräpositio that indicates possession. This structure is distinct from other prepositions in Finnish, which are used to indicate spatial or temporal relationships. The use of omistuspräpositio is a characteristic feature of the Finnish language and contributes to its unique grammatical system.
