älypuhelimensa

älypuhelimensa is a Finnish possessive suffix, specifically the third-person singular possessive. It attaches to the noun "älypuhelin," which translates to "smartphone" in English. Therefore, "älypuhelimensa" means "his/her/its smartphone." This suffix indicates ownership or possession by a third-person singular subject. For example, in the sentence "Hän unohti älypuhelimensa kotiin," the phrase "älypuhelimensa" signifies that the person (hän) forgot their own smartphone. The suffix "-nsa" is a common possessive suffix in Finnish used to denote third-person singular and plural possession, distinguishing it from other possessive suffixes that indicate first or second-person ownership. Understanding these possessive suffixes is crucial for comprehending Finnish grammar and sentence structure, as they clearly delineate who or what possesses a particular item. The use of this specific suffix avoids ambiguity when referring to a third party's belongings.
