Joillaisekin

Joillaisekin is a term that appears in certain linguistic contexts, particularly in discussions of Finnish grammar. It is the ablative plural form of the word "joku," which means "someone" or "somebody." The ablative case in Finnish is used to indicate separation or origin, similar to the English preposition "from." Therefore, "joillaisekin" literally translates to "from some (of them)."

This particular form is not frequently encountered in everyday spoken Finnish. Its usage is more likely to be found in older texts, in specific dialectal variations, or within academic linguistic analyses where grammatical intricacies are being explored. The "kin" suffix in Finnish often adds an emphasis or a sense of "also" or "even," so "joillaisekin" can imply "even from some of them" or "from some of them as well."

Understanding "joillaisekin" requires a grasp of Finnish inflectional morphology. The plural form "joillakin" means "on some (of them)," and the addition of the ablative suffix "-ise-" results in the stem "joillaise-," which then takes the plural ablative ending. While grammatically correct, its practical application in modern Finnish is limited, making it a more specialized linguistic term than a commonly used word.
