ihmeellisestikin

Ihmeellisestikin is a Finnish adverb that translates to "even surprisingly" or "surprisingly enough" in English. It is formed by combining the adjective "ihmeellinen" (wonderful, amazing, surprising) with the enclitic particle "-kin" (also, too, even). The "-kin" particle adds emphasis and a sense of unexpectedness to the adjective.

This adverb is used to express that something happened or is true in a way that was not expected, even considering it might have already been somewhat remarkable or unusual. It implies a degree of astonishment or a heightened sense of surprise. For example, one might say "Hän oli ihmeellisestikin ajoissa" which translates to "He was surprisingly enough on time" or "Even surprisingly, he was on time," suggesting that being on time was not anticipated.

The usage of ihmeellisestikin adds a subtle nuance to sentences, indicating that the situation surpassed even a potentially surprising expectation. It is a common and natural expression in spoken and written Finnish, contributing to the richness of expressing surprise and unexpectedness.
