Possessive Pronouns.
The possessive pronouns are usually expressed by suffixes added to nouns.
These suffixes are:—
| Sing. | Plur. | |
|---|---|---|
| 1st pers. | -ni | -mme |
| 2nd ” | -si[9] | -nne |
| 3rd ” | -nsa or -nsä | -nsa or nsä |
(1) To form the nominative sing. of a noun with a possessive suffix the suffix is added to the root. Käsi, a hand, but käteni, my hand; kysymys, a question, kysymyksesi, thy question, because the roots are käte, kysymykse.
(2) In the other cases the suffix is added after the termination, but should a case end in a consonant, that consonant is rejected before the suffix. Veljeni, my brothers, because veljetni is euphonically disagreeable.
