Valmistustakin

Valmistustakin is a Finnish linguistic form formed by attaching the enclitic suffix -kin to the noun valmistus, meaning manufacture, production, or preparation. The suffix -kin expresses inclusivity or emphasis, equivalent to “also” or “even” in English. When attached to valmistus, the result is used to indicate that manufacturing-related aspects are included in the scope of a statement alongside other factors.

Etymology and morphology: It derives from valmistus with -kin; phonological assimilation yields the form with the -takin sequence. It behaves like other kin-forms: it can take case endings in sentences and forms part of a noun phrase.

Usage: It occurs mainly in formal or technical Finnish, where writers want to stress that preparation or manufacturing is included in considerations. It can appear in policy texts, risk analyses, or comparative statements. In everyday speech, speakers may choose simpler phrasing or omit the form.

Example: “Yrityksen on noudatettava sekä turvallisuusvaatimuksia että valmistustakin koskevat säädökset.” This shows how valmistustakin can modify another noun phrase to include manufacturing-related considerations.
