aikuisillakin

Aikuisillakin is a Finnish adverbial expression meaning "even for adults" or "also for adults." It combines the plural adessive form aikuisilla (on adults) with the particle kin, which adds the sense of inclusivity or emphasis, so the phrase signals that something is suitable for or accessible to adults in addition to other groups, such as children.

Grammatically, aikuisillakin is built from the noun aikuinen (adult) in its plural adessive form aikuisilla, to which the particle kin is appended, producing aikuisillakin. This combination is a fixed unit in everyday Finnish and is used to stress that adults are included or affected as well.

Usage notes include its frequent appearance in marketing, media, and educational contexts to convey inclusivity without repeating longer phrases. It often contrasts with content aimed solely at children or youths, and in more formal contexts speakers may prefer simpler expressions like myös aikuisille or aikuisillekin is used for emphasis in casual speech. The nuance is that adults are part of the intended audience or benefit from what is described.
