Merkittäväkin

Merkittäväkin is a Finnish word that functions as an adverbial particle. It is a combination of the adjective "merkittävä" (significant, considerable) and the enclitic particle "-kin" (also, too, even). Therefore, "merkittäväkin" essentially translates to "even significant," "even considerable," or "significant too."

This word is used to add emphasis or to indicate that something is noteworthy or important, even within a context where other things might also be considered significant. It can be used to highlight a particular item or aspect that stands out, perhaps in comparison to others that are already substantial. For example, one might say "tämä on merkittäväkin ongelma" which means "this is even a significant problem," implying that the problem is considerable and perhaps even more so than other issues being discussed.

The particle "-kin" attaches directly to the adjective, forming a single word. Its placement and usage are integral to conveying a nuanced meaning of emphasis and comparison. It adds a layer of subtlety to the expression, suggesting that the significance of the object or concept it modifies is noteworthy, even when surrounded by other important elements.
