The place where one lives.
خلفية ثقافية
Finns have one of the highest home-ownership rates in Europe. Owning an 'oma koti' is seen as a sign of financial stability and adulthood. The concept of 'Hygge' (Danish) or 'Kotoilu' (Finnish) centers around making the 'oma koti' a warm, candle-lit refuge from the winter. The 'Rintamamiestalo' (war veteran house) is the iconic image of an 'oma koti' for many older Finns—a wooden 1.5-story house with a garden. When visiting someone's 'oma koti', it is mandatory to take off your shoes at the door. This keeps the 'sacred' space clean.
The 'd' change
Remember that 'koti' becomes 'kodissa' or 'kodin'. The 't' changes to 'd' when you add an ending that closes the syllable.

Using 'Oma koti kullan kallis' will make you sound very native and culturally aware.
