itsestäänkin

itsestäänkin is an adverb in the Finnish language. It is a combination of the word "itse" meaning "self" or "itself" and the particle "-kin" which indicates "also" or "even". Therefore, itsestäänkin can be translated to English as "even by itself", "even of itself", "even from itself", or "even by oneself", depending on the context.

The word is used to emphasize that something happens or is true without external influence or with minimal effort. It suggests a self-generating or inherent quality. For example, one might say "kasvi kasvoi itsestäänkin" which translates to "the plant grew even by itself" or "the plant grew on its own". This implies that the plant did not require much, if any, human intervention to grow.

Another use case could be to describe a situation where a problem resolves itself. "Ongelma ratkesi itsestäänkin" could mean "the problem was solved even by itself", suggesting a natural or spontaneous resolution. The "-kin" particle adds a layer of surprise or remarkability to this self-sufficiency. It highlights that the action or state occurred in a way that might not have been expected, precisely because it happened independently. The specific nuance of "itsestäänkin" often depends on the surrounding sentence structure and the overall meaning being conveyed.
