Edelleenkin

The Finnish word "edelleenkin" is an adverb that translates to "still" or "even now" in English. It is used to indicate that a situation, state, or action continues to exist or happen despite the passage of time or other expected changes. It carries a sense of persistence or ongoingness.

"Edelleenkin" is formed by combining the adverb "edelleen" (meaning "further," "onward," or "still") with the particle "kin" (a clitic particle that adds emphasis, often translating to "also" or "even"). The combination emphasizes the continuation or persistent nature of something.

For example, one might say "Hän on edelleenkin onnellinen" which means "He is still happy" or "He is happy even now." Another example could be "Sää on edelleenkin kylmä," translating to "The weather is still cold." The word highlights that the described state or condition has not ceased. It is a common element in everyday Finnish conversation and writing, contributing to the nuanced expression of time and continuity.
