Tavoitteistakin

Tavoitteistakin is a Finnish term that translates roughly to "even with goals" or "despite goals." It is a conjunction that introduces a subordinate clause expressing a contrast or concession. The main clause then presents a statement that holds true or occurs regardless of the condition presented in the subordinate clause.

For example, "Vaikka hänellä oli korkeat tavoitteistakin, hän ei saavuttanut niitä" means "Even though he had high goals, he did not achieve them." Here, the subordinate clause "Vaikka hänellä oli korkeat tavoitteistakin" sets up the expectation of success, but the main clause "hän ei saavuttanut niitä" presents the contrasting reality.

The construction of a sentence using tavoitteistakin typically involves the subordinate clause starting with "vaikka" (although, even though) followed by the subject and verb, and then the phrase "tavoitteistakin." The main clause follows, often introducing an unexpected outcome or a different perspective. This grammatical structure emphasizes that the action or state in the main clause is not prevented or altered by the presence or nature of the goals mentioned.

The nuance of tavoitteistakin lies in its ability to acknowledge the existence or ambition of goals while simultaneously highlighting that these goals did not lead to the expected or desired result, or that something else happened despite them. It’s a way to express a counterpoint or an unexpected turn of events in relation to stated aspirations.
