Töissäkins

Töissäkins is a Finnish word that combines "töissä" meaning "at work" or "working" and the suffix "-kin" which indicates emphasis or inclusion, often translated as "even" or "also". Therefore, "töissäkins" literally means something akin to "even at work" or "also at work". It is used to express that a situation, action, or feeling persists or is present even in a professional context where it might be unexpected or noteworthy.

For example, one might say "Hän oli iloinen töissäkins" which translates to "He was happy even at work". This implies that happiness might not typically be expected in that specific work environment, or that the person's happiness was particularly strong to be evident even while working. The word highlights a continuation or presence of something under the condition of being at work, often adding a nuance of surprise, resilience, or unusual circumstance. It's a common colloquialism used to emphasize that something is happening or being felt irrespective of the professional setting.
