omistussubstantiivit

Omistussubstantiivit, also known as possessive nouns, are a type of noun in the Finnish language that indicate ownership or possession. They are formed by adding a possessive suffix to a noun, which changes the noun's case and number to match the possessor. The possessive suffixes vary depending on the case and number of the possessor. For example, in the nominative case, the suffixes are -n, -nne, and -mme for singular and plural possessors, respectively. In the genitive case, the suffixes are -n, -nne, and -mme for singular possessors and -mme for plural possessors. Omistussubstantiivit are used to express ownership or possession in a clear and concise manner, and they are an essential part of Finnish grammar. They are also used to indicate the relationship between two nouns, such as in the phrase "kaverin auto" (my friend's car), where "kaverin" is an omistussubstantiivit indicating that the car belongs to the friend.
