aikuisuudessakin

Aikuisuudessakin is a Finnish expression that translates roughly to “even in adulthood” or “in adulthood as well.” It is used to indicate that a statement, quality, or phenomenon applies not only to children or youth but continues to be relevant or true in adult life. The form is built from the noun aikuisuus (adulthood) with the inessive suffix -ssa to mean “in adulthood,” and the particle -kin to express “also” or “even.” The result aikuisuudessakin conveys emphasis that the point remains valid beyond childhood.

In usage, aikuisuudessakin often appears in discussions about development, education, health, and social policy. It signals continuity from childhood into adult life and is commonly used to contrast past expectations with present realities or to stress the ongoing relevance of a principle.

Examples:

- Taitojen oppiminen ei lopu lapsuuteen; aikuisuudessakin voi oppia uusia taitoja.

- Terveelliset elämäntavat ovat tärkeitä aikuisuudessakin.

- Tutkimukset osoittavat, että mielellinen hyvinvointi vaatii huomiota sekä aikuisuudessa että aikaisemmin.

Nuance: the phrase underlines that certain truths or actions persist over time and across life stages, not being limited to formative years. It is a neutral, widely understood linguistic tool in Finnish discourse.
