Järkeilylläkin

Järkeilylläkin is a Finnish word that translates to "even with reasoning" or "even by thinking." It implies that despite the application of logic or thought, a particular outcome or situation persists. The phrase often carries a sense of mild exasperation or surprise, suggesting that the expected results of rational thought did not materialize.

It can be used in various contexts to express that a problem or situation remains unresolved or a desired outcome is not achieved, even after careful consideration or deliberate effort to understand or solve it. For instance, someone might say "Järkeilylläkin tämä ongelma jatkuu" which means "Even with reasoning, this problem continues." This conveys that logical analysis has not provided a solution.

The term highlights the limitations of pure intellect in certain scenarios. It acknowledges that while reasoning is a valuable tool, it doesn't always guarantee success or a straightforward answer, especially when dealing with complex, irrational, or emotionally charged situations. The "kin" suffix in "järkeilylläkin" emphasizes the inclusion of reasoning as a factor, implying that it was considered and applied, yet still proved insufficient. This makes it a nuanced expression in Finnish, capturing a common human experience of encountering situations that defy simple logical explanation.
