esimerkikin

Esimerkikin is a Finnish word that translates to "for example" or "for instance" in English. It is commonly used in everyday conversation and written language to introduce an example or illustration of a point being made. The word is a compound of "esimerkki" meaning "example" and "kin" which is a clitic particle often implying emphasis or addition, similar to "also" or "even."

When "esimerkikin" is used, it signals to the listener or reader that the following information is intended to clarify or support a preceding statement. It helps to make abstract ideas more concrete and relatable. For instance, if someone is discussing various hobbies, they might say, "Harrastuksia on monia, esimerkiksikin lukeminen, urheilu ja musiikki," which translates to "There are many hobbies, for example reading, sports, and music."

The particle "kin" in "esimerkikin" can sometimes add a subtle nuance, suggesting that the example provided is not exhaustive but rather one among others, or that it's a particularly relevant or notable instance. It's a versatile phrase that enriches communication by providing clarity and depth through illustrative examples. The proper usage of "esimerkikin" enhances the flow of discourse and aids in understanding.
