Esitystenkin

Esitystenkin is a Finnish word that translates to "even performances" or "including performances." It is a grammatical construction that adds emphasis to the idea that something applies not only to other things but also to performances. The "-kin" suffix in Finnish is an enclitic, meaning it attaches to the end of a word and conveys a sense of inclusion or emphasis.

For instance, if someone were discussing activities at a festival and said "Musiikkia ja esitystenkin oli paljon," it would mean "There was a lot of music, and even performances too." This implies that performances were part of a broader set of attractions, but the "-kin" highlights their presence and significance within that context. The word can be applied to various types of performances, including theatrical shows, musical concerts, dance recitals, and public presentations. Its usage underscores that performances were a notable component, perhaps even an unexpected or particularly welcome one, among other offerings. The specific nuance of "esitystenkin" depends heavily on the surrounding sentence and the overall context of the discussion. It is a common way to broaden the scope of a statement and ensure that performances are explicitly acknowledged as part of a group or category.
