epämuodollisissakin

The Finnish word "epämuodollisissakin" is an inflected form of the adjective "epämuodollinen" (informal). It specifically denotes a locative case, plural, and the clitic particle "kin" (also, even). Therefore, "epämuodollisissakin" translates to "even in informal ones" or "also in informal situations/settings."

This grammatical form is used when referring to something that applies or exists within informal contexts, even when other, perhaps more formal, contexts are also being considered. For example, one might say that certain social rules apply "epämuodollisissakin" situations, implying they are also present in formal ones but are more relaxed or differently expressed in informal settings. The inclusion of "kin" emphasizes that the informality is included in a broader scope of consideration. Understanding the components of the word – the negation "epä-", the root "muodollinen" (formal), the locative plural ending "-issakin" – is key to deciphering its meaning and usage in Finnish sentences.
