Taiteessakin

Taiteessakin is a Finnish word that translates to "in art too" or "even in art." It is a common adverbial phrase used to emphasize that a particular quality, action, or concept is present or relevant within the realm of art, in addition to other contexts. The word is formed by combining the Finnish word "taide" (art) with the postposition "-ssa" (in) and the particle "-kin" (too/also/even).

The particle "-kin" serves to add emphasis, suggesting that the inclusion of art in a discussion or consideration is noteworthy or perhaps previously overlooked. For example, one might say "Kauneutta löytyy luonnostakin, mutta taiteessakin" which means "Beauty can be found in nature too, but also in art." This usage highlights that art possesses a certain characteristic, just as another subject does, or that art is a relevant domain for a specific phenomenon.

The phrase is versatile and can be applied across various artistic disciplines, including visual arts, music, literature, and performance. It is often used in discussions about aesthetics, creativity, societal impact of art, or the presence of specific themes and emotions. The inclusion of "taiteessakin" subtly broadens the scope of a statement, drawing attention to the artistic dimension of a topic. It is a linguistic tool that enriches descriptive language by acknowledging art's presence and relevance.
