tuotensa

Tuotensa is a Finnish word that translates to "its product" or "his/her/its product" in English. The word is formed by combining the Finnish noun "tuote," meaning "product," with the possessive suffix "-nsa," which indicates third-person possession (his, her, its, their). This suffix is uninflected and can refer to a singular or plural owner, or even an inanimate object owning something.

In Finnish grammar, "tuotensa" is a common construction used to refer to a product belonging to a specific entity or individual. For example, one might say "Yrityksen tuotensa on laadukas" which translates to "The company's its product is high quality." Here, "tuotensa" clearly refers to the product of the company. Similarly, "Hänen tuotensa myi hyvin" means "His/Her its product sold well," indicating a personal product.

The flexibility of the "-nsa" suffix makes "tuotensa" a versatile term in Finnish, capable of expressing ownership in various contexts. It is a straightforward example of how Finnish uses suffixes to convey grammatical information that might require separate words or phrases in other languages. Understanding this possessive suffix is key to comprehending many common Finnish phrases involving ownership.
