Usage notes When a possessive suffix is applied to singular or plural nominative or genitive case it is appended to the so called "strong vowel stem" (all four forms looking the same). Those unfamiliar with the concept may take the essive singular form of the word in question and replace the fi -na -na, -nä -ending with fi -nne, e.g. fi tieto knowledge > fi tietona > fi tietonne (not fi **tiedonne). In other cases fi -nne is simply added to the end of the inflected form, e.g. fi talossa > fi talossanne (in the illative form, the final n is omitted: fi taloihin > fi taloihinne). A possessive suffix may not be applied to the instructive case. The rules above apply to standard Finnish. In colloquial language, the possessive suffixes are often omitted and genitive forms of personal pronouns are used instead. Used not only in the plural, but also as a polite form.
