hyvätkin

The Finnish word "hyvätkin" is a plural form of "hyvä," meaning "good." The suffix "-kin" is an enclitic particle that adds emphasis or a sense of "also" or "even." Therefore, "hyvätkin" can be translated as "the good ones too," "even the good ones," or "the good ones also."

Its usage depends heavily on context. For instance, in a sentence like "Kaikki teokset olivat hyviä, mutta nämä hyvätkin olivat poikkeuksellisia" (All the works were good, but even these good ones were exceptional), "hyvätkin" highlights that even among a group already deemed good, a subset stands out. Alternatively, if discussing a selection of items where some are bad and some are good, "hyvätkin" might be used to acknowledge the presence of good items alongside others, such as "Oli huonoja ja hyvätkin" (There were bad ones and the good ones too).

The particle "-kin" attached to plural nouns like "hyvät" serves to broaden the scope or draw a comparison, suggesting that the good items are being considered in addition to, or in contrast with, something else. The precise nuance is often conveyed through the surrounding sentence structure and the overall discourse.
