tekstissäni

Tekstissäni is a Finnish phrase meaning "in my text" and is used to indicate location within the text that the speaker has written. It is formed from teksti (text) combined with the inessive case ending -ssä to express "in," and the 1st person possessive suffix -ni to mark "my." The result is a noun phrase that functions as a location adverbial in a sentence.

Morphology: teksti + -ssä + -ni yields tekstissäni. The inessive suffix marks location inside something, while the possessive suffix attaches to the inessive form to show ownership by the speaker. Finnish commonly builds such expressions by chaining a location suffix with a possessive suffix.

Usage: Common in writing, editing, and meta-discourse when referring to the writer's own text. Examples: "Tekstissäni on virheitä" (There are mistakes in my text), "Tekstissäni esitettyjen väitteiden mukaan" (According to the points presented in my text). Other forms include tekstissäsi (in your text), tekstissämme (in our text), tekstissään (in his/her/its/their text), etc.

Etymology and related forms: Teksti is a loanword meaning "text," from Latin textus via Swedish text. The possessive suffix -ni is one of Finnish personal suffixes that mark "my" and attaches to nouns in various cases to form possessive phrases. Related forms adapt the pronoun and person (e.g., tekstissäsi, tekstissämme) to fit different speakers and contexts.
