Päälläkin

Päälläkin is a Finnish word that functions as an adverb or a postposition. Its primary meaning is "on top of," "on," or "over." As an adverb, it can indicate a position of being on a surface. For example, "Kirja on päälläkin" might mean "The book is on top too" or "The book is on the surface as well," implying the existence of other items or places.

When used as a postposition, päälläkin typically attaches to a noun or pronoun in the genitive case, signifying location. It emphasizes that something is situated upon that noun or pronoun, often with a nuance of being "on top of" or "in addition to." The "-kin" suffix adds a sense of "also" or "too." Therefore, a phrase like "pöydän päälläkin" translates to "on the table too" or "even on the table." This suggests that the item in question is on the table, and perhaps it's also in another location or there are other items on the table. The precise translation can depend on the broader context of the sentence.
