Tekstiltäkin

Tekstiltäkin is a Finnish postpositional phrase formed from teksti in the elative case (tekstiltä) and the particle -kin, which adds emphasis meaning “even” or “also.” The combination is used to indicate that information or evidence comes from the text itself, highlighting the textual source as sufficient or noteworthy for drawing a conclusion.

In usage, tekstiltäkin is common in academic writing, literary analysis, and journalism when authors want to stress that a claim is supported by the text under discussion, not only by external sources. It can modify a clause or appear within a sentence as a source-related adverbial element. The nuance is that the evidence is drawn specifically from the text, sometimes in contrast with other possible sources.

Examples:

- Tekstiltäkin voi päätellä, että kertomuksen pääteema on identiteetti.

- Tekstiltäkin käy ilmi, ettei ratkaisua ole vielä löytynyt.

- Tekstiltäkin näkee, miten henkilöiden motivaatiot kehittyvät.

Related considerations include the broader Finnish system of indicating sources with postpositions in the elative and other cases (such as tekstistä “from the text”), and the way -kin interacts with emphasis in discourse. Tekstiltäkin is primarily a stylistic choice, signaling careful attention to textual evidence and often signaling a cautious or evidence-based interpretation.
