Ammattimaisiinkin

Ammattimaisiinkin is a Finnish word that translates to "even professionally" or "even in a professional manner." It is an adverbial form derived from the word "ammattimainen," which means professional. The suffix "-kin" is an enclitic particle in Finnish that adds emphasis, often conveying a sense of "even" or "also."

The word is used to indicate that a certain action, quality, or behavior is carried out with a high degree of skill, competence, and dedication, comparable to that expected in a professional setting. It implies a level of seriousness and expertise that might not always be assumed, suggesting that even in a context where professionalism might not be strictly required or expected, it is nevertheless present. For example, one might say that someone approaches a hobby "ammattimaisiinkin" to highlight their exceptional commitment and skill in that pursuit. The particle "-kin" serves to amplify this idea, suggesting that the professional approach is notable or perhaps even surprising in the given circumstances.
