-n

2. ending indicating destination: In the direction of, and arriving at

From Proto-Finnic *-n, from Proto-Uralic *-n (“genitive suffix”).

-n

1. Used to form the genitive case.

   tytön takki "a girl's coat"

   poikani takki "the coat of my son"

• When possessive suffixes are used, the genitive doesn't have its suffix -n. The possessive suffixes are appended to a vowel stem instead, thus rendering the nominative and genitive singular identical.

From Proto-Finnic *-n, from Proto-Uralic *-m (“accusative suffix”).

-n

1. Used to form the accusative case.

   • Näin tytön.
     • I saw a/the girl.
   • Tapasin poikani eilen.
     • I met my son yesterday.

• The genitive singular and accusative singular look coincidentally identical in Finnish. The object of a transitive verb may look also like the nominative but it's still called the accusative in traditional grammars. There's also the partial object, which uses the partitive case. For the accusative forms of personal pronouns and the interrogative pronoun ken, see -t.

From Proto-Finnic *-n.

• The only occasion where this suffix is used with a possessive suffix — without being to be translated — is the idiom käydä päinsä "to be acceptable" (the plural stem päi- of the noun pää and the suffix -nsä).

• From the Uralic first-person singular suffix *-mV, probably connected with the first person pronoun *mV; see eg. Finnish minä.

• The use after reduced -e (as in Name → Namen) is more often interpreted in such a way that -e is deleted before the suffix -en, but it may just as well be interpreted as -e + -n.
