Arkikielessäkin

Arkikielessäkin is a Finnish word that translates to "even in everyday language" or "even colloquially." It is formed by combining the word "arkikieli," meaning everyday language or colloquial speech, with the suffix "-kin," which acts as an emphatic particle, similar to "even" or "also" in English.

The word is used to emphasize that something is common, understood, or present even in informal and casual communication. For instance, one might say "tämä sana on tuttu arkikielessäkin" which translates to "this word is familiar even in everyday language." This implies that the word is not specialized or academic, but rather part of the vocabulary people use regularly.

The usage of arkikielessäkin highlights the accessibility and widespread understanding of a particular concept, term, or phenomenon. It serves to contrast with more formal or technical registers of language, suggesting that the subject matter is not confined to specialized contexts but is readily incorporated into ordinary conversation. The particle "-kin" adds a nuance of surprise or acknowledgement that something is present where it might not be strictly expected, or simply to reinforce its commonality.
