vastauksesi

Vastauksesi is a Finnish noun phrase meaning "your answer." It is formed from the noun vastaus (answer) with the second-person possessive suffix -si, which marks ownership by the person being addressed. The word is used to refer to the answer belonging to the listener or reader and functions as a regular noun phrase that can appear in different cases in sentences.

Morphology and usage: The possessive suffix -si indicates second person singular possession. When combined with vastaus, it yields vastauksesi, typically used in sentences such as Missä on vastauksesi? (Where is your answer?) or Lähetä vastauksesi. (Send your answer.) The phrase can be inflected for various grammatical cases like other Finnish noun phrases, allowing it to serve as subject, object, or in other roles within a sentence. It is common in educational, survey, and feedback contexts, as well as in everyday written and spoken Finnish.

Context and examples: In educational settings, vastauksesi appears on worksheets and exams to refer to the student’s own response. In correspondence or forms, it can introduce or reference the recipient’s reply. The term is neutral and widely understood in Finnish, without regional or specialized connotations.
