Selittämisenkin

Selittämisenkin is a Finnish word that functions as an adverb or a conjunction, meaning "even explaining" or "also explaining." It is formed by adding the suffix "-kin" to the infinitive form of the verb "selittää," which means "to explain." The "-kin" suffix in Finnish serves to emphasize or add a sense of "even" or "also."

As an adverb, selittämisenkin can be used to indicate that something is being done or considered, even in the context of explaining. For example, "Hän ei ymmärtänyt, selittämisenkin jälkeen" translates to "He didn't understand, even after explaining." In this instance, "selittämisenkin" highlights the effort of explaining, suggesting that despite this effort, comprehension was not achieved.

When used as a conjunction, selittämisenkin connects clauses or ideas, implying that an explanation is a component or a consequence that is being included or considered. It can convey a sense of adding an explanation to a situation, perhaps when it was not initially expected or deemed necessary. For instance, "Tämä on monimutkainen asia, selittämisenkin vaativa" could be interpreted as "This is a complex matter, requiring even an explanation."

The specific nuance of selittämisenkin depends heavily on the surrounding sentence structure and context. It adds a layer of detail or emphasis, indicating that the act of explaining, or the explanation itself, is a relevant factor in the discourse. It is a common construction in colloquial and written Finnish, adding a subtle but important semantic value.
