Finnish

Pronoun

itsensä

1. (reflexive) The third-person singular and plural of the reflexive pronoun, himself, herself; itself; oneself; themselves.

Inflection

• All the cases, except for the genitive and the illative, have a shortened form (see the usage notes of -nsä). Both the forms are acceptable in standard Finnish.

Usage notes

• Note that this pronoun has no nominative form.
• If this pronoun is an object of a genitive-requiring postposition, the possessive suffix is not appended to the postposition — because it is already in this pronoun:

hänen kanssansa = with him/her

heidän kanssansa = with them (only of people)

itsensä kanssa = with himself/herself/themselves/itself/oneself
