etsivätkin

Etsivätkin is a Finnish word that translates to "detectives too" or "even detectives" in English. It is a plural form of the word "etsivä," meaning detective. The suffix "-kin" is a clitic particle in Finnish that adds emphasis, implying inclusion or surprise. Therefore, "etsivätkin" suggests that detectives, like other people or groups, are also involved in or subject to a particular situation or action.

The usage of "etsivätkin" often appears in contexts where one might expect certain individuals or professions to be exempt from common problems or experiences. For example, a sentence might read, "Jopa etsivätkin tarvitsevat lomaa," which translates to "Even detectives need a vacation." This implies that despite their demanding work, detectives are human and require rest. Another example could be in a narrative discussing a widespread phenomenon, where the inclusion of "etsivätkin" highlights the pervasive nature of the issue, affecting everyone, including those who investigate crimes. The particle "-kin" adds a nuance of unexpectedness or a broadening of scope.
