Eläimistäkin

Eläimistäkin is a Finnish phrase that translates to "about animals too" or "even about animals." It is not a specific term or concept with a widely recognized definition within a particular field. Instead, it functions as a common linguistic construction used in everyday Finnish conversation and writing to broaden the scope of a topic.

When used in a sentence, Eläimistäkin often serves to indicate that the discussion or subject matter, while perhaps primarily focused on something else, also includes considerations or information related to animals. For example, someone might say "Puhumme projektista, ja eläimistäkin" which means "We are talking about the project, and about animals too." This suggests that the project has an aspect or consequence that involves animals, which is being included in the conversation.

The phrase can also be used to emphasize the inclusion of animals in a context where they might not be the immediate or obvious focus. This could be in discussions about environmental impact, ethical considerations, or even hobbies. The "kin" suffix in "eläimistäkin" is a particle that adds emphasis, similar to "too," "also," or "even" in English, highlighting that animals are an additional element being addressed. Its usage is flexible and dependent on the surrounding context to convey the specific nuance of inclusion.
