Muutakin

Muutakin is a Finnish word used as a determiner and pronoun to signal that there is more to a situation than what has been mentioned. It combines the idea of "muu" (other, additional) with the emphatic particle -kin, producing a form that can mean "something else," "more besides that," or "more than that." The word functions in various grammatical roles, often standing in for a noun or a larger phrase when the speaker wants to emphasize additional aspects.

In standard Finnish, muutakin is common in both spoken and written language. It frequently appears in statements about needs, possibilities, or options, as in on muutakin, tarvitaan muutakin, or on muutakin kuin. The construction muutakin kuin also allows an implicit comparison, meaning “more than what is [already] mentioned.” In direct statements of desire or requirement, muuakin can stand alone as a pronoun-like element, as in haluan muutakin.

Examples:

- Hänellä on rahaa, mutta muutakin tarvitaan. (He has money, but more is needed.)

- Tämä kirja käsittelee vähemmän vain tämän aiheen; muutakin on kerrottavaa. (This book covers more than just this topic; there is more to tell.)

- Haluan muutakin kuin kahvia. (I want something other than coffee / more than coffee.)

Muutakin is a versatile feature of Finnish syntax, widely used to convey that additional items, facts, or possibilities exist beyond those already stated. Its usage is common across registers, though it remains especially frequent in colloquial and written North Finnish usage.
