Suuremmillakin

Suuremmillakin is a Finnish adverbial form used to emphasize that a statement applies even more broadly or to a larger extent than stated. It originates from the base adjective suurempi (bigger) and is formed by adding the suffix -llakin, which combines the locative suffix -lla/-llä with the enclitic -kin meaning “also” or “even.” The resulting expression conveys a nuance similar to “even bigger” or “even more so” in English, signaling that the claim holds true not only in ordinary cases but also at higher levels or scales.

Usage is common in both spoken and written Finnish, particularly in comparisons, discussions of scale, capacity, or frequency, and in contexts where emphasis is desired. Suuremmillakin tends to appear in clauses that set a broader context or introduce a more extreme example, often preceding the main clause or within conditional phrases.

Examples:

- Suuremmillakin tapahtumilla on omat järjestelynsä. (Even larger events have their own arrangements.)

- Suuremmillakin rahasummilla voisimme parantaa projektin lopputulosta. (With larger sums we could improve the project’s outcome.)

- Suuremmillakin mittauksilla voidaan havaita eroja. (Differences can be observed with larger measurements.)
