Toimintaakin

Toimintaakin is a Finnish word that combines "toiminta" meaning action or activity, with the enclitic "-kin," which indicates "also" or "too." Therefore, "toimintaakin" translates to "action too," "activity also," or "even action."

This word is used to emphasize that an action or activity is occurring in addition to something else already mentioned or understood. It suggests a broadening of scope, indicating that more than one thing is happening or being considered. For example, if a discussion is about planning, "toimintaakin tarvitaan" would mean "action is also needed." It implies that planning alone is insufficient and that tangible steps must be taken.

The use of "-kin" is common in Finnish to add nuance and connect ideas. "Toimintaakin" specifically highlights the inclusion of a practical, active component within a larger context. It can be used in various contexts, from personal conversations to more formal writing, to ensure that the notion of action is not overlooked. The word is versatile and its precise meaning depends on the surrounding sentence and the overall topic of discussion. It serves to underline the importance of doing as well as thinking or observing.
