Suomenkielessäkin

Suomenkielessäkin is a Finnish phrase that demonstrates the use of the enclitic particle -kin, meaning "also" or "even," attached to a base form in the inessive case suomenkielessä (in Finnish). The combined form suomenkielessäkin is written as a single word and adds a nuance of inclusion or contrast, signaling that what is said applies to Finnish as well as to other languages or contexts.

Formation and usage: The particle -kin attaches to the end of the word or phrase it follows, without changing its grammatical case. It can attach to simple words or to longer expressions, producing forms such as suomenkielessäkin, minunkin, sinunkin. The nuance ranges from "even in Finnish" to broader "also in Finnish," often conveying a sense that the statement has relevance beyond a single language or situation.

Examples: Many loanwords appear in multiple languages, and suomenkielessäkin on runsaasti loanasanoja. This phenomenon is not limited to English; suomenkielessäkin on omia vastaavia ilmauksiaan. Such usage can emphasize that a phenomenon or observation holds true in Finnish in addition to other contexts.

Usage notes: -kin is common in both contemporary spoken and written Finnish and is used to indicate inclusivity, emphasis, or contrast. In formal prose, it should be used judiciously, as it can introduce a slightly casual or rhetorical tone. The form suomenkielessäkin illustrates how Finnish employs enclitic particles to link ideas across languages and domains.
