ihmistenkin

ihmistenkin is a Finnish word that can be translated to "even people" or "people too". It is a compound word formed by the plural of "ihminen" (person) and the enclitic "-kin" which signifies inclusion or emphasis, similar to "also" or "even" in English.

The word is used in various contexts to express that a group or situation applies not only to non-humans or a specific subset but also to people in general. For instance, one might say "eläimilläkin on tunteita, ihmistenkin" which translates to "animals have feelings too, people do as well". This usage emphasizes that the preceding statement is not exclusive to the mentioned subject but extends to humanity.

Another application could be in contrasting different groups. If discussing a particular challenge faced by a specific group, someone might add "ja ihmistenkin on vaikea sopeutua" meaning "and it is difficult for people too to adapt". Here, "ihmistenkin" suggests that the difficulty is not unique to the initially mentioned group but is a shared experience with people in general. The enclitic "-kin" adds a nuance of universality or shared struggle.
