kanssa

== Finnish == === Alternative forms === kaa, kans (colloquial, dialectal) kansa (dialectal) === Etymology === Derived from kansa (“people”), from one or more of the following: reduced from of kansassa, the inessive singular form of kansa from an old essive/locative (kanssa < *kans-sa < *kans-na), from the nominative kansa through apocope to kans ~ kanss, to which the vowel was later readded in the standard language (to kanssa).
