The grammatical cases are not affected by the possessive suffix except for the accusative case ("-n" or unmarked), which is left unmarked by anything other than the possessive suffix. The third-person suffix is used only if the possessor is the subject. For example, "Mari maalasi talonsa" "Mari painted her house", cf. the use of the genitive case in "Toni maalasi Marin talon" "Toni painted Mari's house". (The "-n" on the word "talon" is the accusative case, which is pronounced the same as the genitive case.)
