Finnish has a special way of modifying an object to show that it is owned or held by someone. There are the equivalents of the possessive subjects, or you can change the object:
mine - minun or object+ni
your - sinun or object+si
his/her - hänen or object+nsa
our - meidän or object+mme
your (pl.) - teidän or object+nne
their - heidän or object+nsa
However it is much cooler to change the object under possesion. For example:
Ei, olen isäsi - No, I am your father
Voimasi ovat heikot, ukko - Your powers are weak, old man

...and I thought I was cool for translating bits of "Ghostbusters" into Latin...
I bow to the Master, for the circle is now complete. Or something.
