eläimillekin

"eläimillekin" is a Finnish word that translates to "for animals too" or "also for animals" in English. It is a compound word formed by combining "eläin" (animal) with the suffix "-kin" (too, also, even). The "-kin" suffix is a particle that adds emphasis or inclusion, indicating that something applies to animals in addition to something else already mentioned or implied.

The usage of "eläimillekin" is common in various contexts. For example, it might be used when discussing the provision of services, products, or care that are not exclusively for humans. One might hear about a store that sells items "eläimillekin," meaning it carries pet supplies alongside other goods. Similarly, a veterinarian's clinic might advertise that they treat "eläimillekin," implying they cater to animals in addition to other patients, or perhaps that their services are accessible to a wider range of animal species.

The word can also appear in discussions about ethical considerations, rights, or welfare. For instance, a statement about providing adequate shelter might be phrased as "suoja täytyy järjestää ihmisille ja eläimillekin," which means "shelter must be provided for humans and for animals too." This highlights the inclusion of animals in a scope of concern or action. The grammatical case of "eläin" in "eläimillekin" is the allative, indicating motion towards or for the benefit of, further reinforcing the sense of providing something *to* or *for* animals.
