Don't worry, this doesn't matter and we have a lot of harder stuff in the language which does matter

Oh good, that’s encouraging lol

I'm kidding. We appreciate everyone trying, even if they don't get possessiivisuffiksis right

Do normal people, because in your neighboring country, 50 year olds can't spell

Sorry, are you asking how our average person handles the language?

Native Finnish speakers seem to suck at compound words and punctuation on average, old and young.

People learning Finnish differ as they seem to (someone learning please speak up) struggle with double consonants, declension (had to google that word) and how spoken language is different from written official rules. I think all of these are mostly automatic to someone with Finnish as a mother tongue.

To be fair, Finnish compound words are pain in the ass.

It's a pet peeve of mine to see them done dirty but lately I've thought that maybe they've been written by someone dyslexic or with something else as their first language and have become more lenient.

But still...

Yes, I am asking if the average person gets possessiivisuffiksis right. I suppose I wasn't as clear as I should have been. Nevertheless it seems my question was more or less answered
