Ympäristössäkin

Ympäristössäkin is a Finnish word that translates to "even in the environment" or "also in the surroundings" in English. It is a compound word formed from "ympäristö" meaning "environment" or "surroundings" and the postposition "-ssäkin" which indicates location ("in") and adds the emphatic particle "-kin" meaning "even" or "also."

The word is used to emphasize that something is present, happening, or relevant not only in a specific context but also within the broader environment or surrounding conditions. For example, it might be used in a sentence discussing pollution, stating that certain pollutants are found even in the environment (ympäristössäkin) and not just in specific industrial areas. Similarly, it could be used to highlight the impact of an event on the general atmosphere or circumstances. The inclusion of "-kin" suggests a contrast or an additional point of consideration, implying that the usual focus might be elsewhere, but the environment itself is also affected or involved. Its usage underscores the pervasive nature of a phenomenon or the widespread applicability of a concept.
