Suomeksikin

Suomeksikin is a Finnish linguistic form meaning “also in Finnish” or “even in Finnish.” It is formed by combining the adverbial expression suomeksi, which means “in Finnish,” with the enclitic particle -kin, which adds emphasis or inclusivity and translates roughly to “too” or “as well.” The resulting word is written as a single unit, suomeksikin.

Morphology and usage

The base suomeksi expresses language in which something is available or presented. The suffix -kin attaches to indicate that Finnish is included in addition to other languages or options. Suomeksikin is commonly used in multilingual contexts to signal availability or translation in Finnish alongside other languages, such as English or Swedish. It can appear in instructions, product labels, websites, subtitles, and media materials, as well as in conversational language to highlight Finnish as an extra option.

Etymology and relation

Suomeksikin derives from suomeksi (in Finnish) with the enclitic -kin. The construction is a typical example of how Finnish forms convey language, finality, and inclusivity in a compact word. Related terms include suomeksi and other language forms created with -ksi, which mark the language, and the use of -kin to indicate “also” or “in addition.”
