sitoutumisensa

Sitoutumisensa is a Finnish word formed from the verb sitoutua ("to commit") and the nominalizing suffix -minen, producing sitoutuminen ("commitment"), with a third‑person possessive suffix (-nsa/-nsä) attached. The resulting form is typically translated as "his/her/their commitment" or "one's commitment" and is used to indicate that the commitment belongs to a specific third‑person subject.

The term appears in a variety of contexts where commitment is discussed: political declarations, corporate communications, legal or contractual language, and everyday speech about personal resolve or obligation. Depending on context, it can refer to ideological dedication, formal contractual obligations, or emotional or practical willingness to act.

Grammatically, sitoutumisensa behaves like other Finnish possessed nouns. It can function as subject, object or complement within a clause, and it is inflected further as required by case or number. For emphasis or clarity Finnish may instead use separate possessive constructions (e.g., hänen sitoutumisensa) when needed.

Examples:

- Yritys korosti sitoutumisensa ympäristöystävällisiin käytäntöihin. (The company emphasized its commitment to environmentally friendly practices.)

- Poliittinen puolue kertoi sitoutumisensa sosiaaliseen oikeudenmukaisuuteen. (The political party stated its commitment to social justice.)

As a morphologically transparent term, sitoutumisensa illustrates Finnish agglutinative structure, where meaning is built by sequential affixation to a base morpheme.
