eliöstönkin

eliöstöönkin is a Finnish word that functions as an adverb. It is a compound word formed from "eliöstö" and the clitic particle "-kin". "Eliöstö" translates to "fauna" or "living organisms" in English. The particle "-kin" is similar to the English suffix "-too" or the word "also". Therefore, "eliöstönkin" literally means "even the fauna" or "the fauna too".

The word is used to emphasize that something applies to the fauna, in addition to other things already mentioned or implied. For example, it might be used in a sentence discussing the effects of pollution on a particular area, stating that the pollution impacts not only the flora but also, crucially, the fauna. The placement of "-kin" after the noun "eliöstö" is characteristic of Finnish grammar for such emphatic particles. It serves to draw attention to the inclusion of living organisms within a broader context of discussion or impact. It is a grammatical construction common in Finnish to add emphasis and inclusivity.
