edellyttääkin

Edellyttääkin is a Finnish word that functions as an adverb. It is formed by combining the verb "edellyttää" (to require, to necessitate, to presuppose) with the clitic particle "-kin" (also, too, indeed). The "-kin" particle adds emphasis, implying that something is required or necessitated in addition to something else, or that it is quite obviously or certainly the case that something is required.

The meaning of edellyttääkin can be translated in several ways depending on the context. It often conveys a sense of "it is indeed required," "it also necessitates," or "as expected, it requires." This adverbial form suggests that the requirement is not a new or surprising one, but rather something that is understood or has already been established.

For example, in a sentence like "Tämä uusi teknologia edellyttääkin uusien ohjelmistojen käyttöönottoa," it could be translated as "This new technology indeed requires the adoption of new software" or "As expected, this new technology necessitates the implementation of new software." The "-kin" particle emphasizes that this requirement is a logical or understood consequence.

The usage of edellyttääkin is common in both spoken and written Finnish, contributing to the nuances of expressing obligation and necessity within sentences. It adds a layer of certainty or an additional element to the stated requirement.
