ratkaisusuffixin

Ratkaisusuffixin is a Finnish linguistic term that can be translated as "solution suffix" or "solving suffix." It refers to a suffix that, when attached to a noun, indicates that the noun represents a solution or a means to solve a problem. While not a single, universally recognized suffix like the genitive or plural, the concept of a "ratkaisusuffixin" often encompasses suffixes that convey a sense of instrumentality or resolution.

Examples of suffixes that can function in this way include the partitive case, which can sometimes denote a part of a solution or an element contributing to a resolution. Other grammatical constructions or specific word-forming suffixes might also be interpreted as fulfilling a "ratkaisusuffixin" role depending on the context. The precise meaning is heavily dependent on the specific word and the situation in which it is used. The concept highlights how Finnish morphology can express abstract ideas like problem-solving through affixation.
