Elokuvantekijöidenkin

Elokuvantekijöidenkin is a Finnish word that translates roughly to "even filmmakers" or "filmmakers too." It is the plural form of "elokuvantekijä" (filmmaker) with the enclitic "-kin" attached. This enclitic particle serves to add emphasis or inclusivity, suggesting that a statement applies not only to others but also to filmmakers.

The use of "elokuvantekijöidenkin" implies a broader context where a certain action, characteristic, or situation is being discussed, and the speaker or writer wants to explicitly include filmmakers within that group. For instance, if discussing the challenges of artistic creation, one might say "taiteilijoidenkin, elokuvantekijöidenkin on kohdattava vaikeuksia" which means "artists too, even filmmakers, have to face difficulties." This phrasing suggests that filmmakers, perhaps perceived as being in a different or more privileged field, are also subject to the same struggles as other artists.

The word can appear in various grammatical cases depending on its function in a sentence. The form "elokuvantekijöidenkin" itself is in the genitive plural, often used after prepositions or in constructions requiring the genitive. Understanding the "-kin" enclitic is key to grasping the subtle but significant meaning it adds to the base word "elokuvantekijöiden." It broadens the scope of the statement, making it more comprehensive and inclusive of the filmmaking community.
