ruumiinlämpönsä

ruumiinlämpönsä is a Finnish possessive suffix that translates to "its body temperature" or "their body temperature" depending on the context of the preceding noun. In Finnish grammar, the suffix "-nsä" indicates a third-person possessive, referring to something that belongs to "it" or "they." When attached to "ruumiinlämpö," which means "body temperature," it specifically denotes the body temperature of a non-human entity or a group of entities.

For example, in the sentence "Koiran ruumiinlämpönsä oli normaali," the "nsä" refers back to the dog ("koira"), indicating that the dog's body temperature was normal. Similarly, if discussing a group of animals, the phrase would still use "ruumiinlämpönsä" to denote their collective body temperature. This grammatical feature is crucial for conveying ownership or belonging in the Finnish language, and its use with "ruumiinlämpö" is a common way to discuss the physiological state of animals or even inanimate objects if they are anthropomorphized in a specific context. The core meaning remains the temperature of a body belonging to a third-person subject.
