jälkimmäisetkin

The Finnish word "jälkimmäisetkin" is a compound word derived from "jälkimäinen" and the clitic "-kin". "Jälkimäinen" is the superlative form of "jälki", meaning "last" or "final" when referring to a sequence or order. The clitic "-kin" translates to "also" or "even". Therefore, "jälkimmäisetkin" literally means "the last ones also" or "even the last ones".

This word is typically used in a plural context to refer to a group of items, people, or concepts that are at the end of a list, sequence, or series. The inclusion of "-kin" emphasizes that these final elements are also included or considered, perhaps in contrast to earlier ones or to highlight their importance. For example, one might say "kunniallisesti suoriutuivat jälkimmäisetkin" which translates to "even the last ones performed honorably".

The grammatical function of "jälkimmäisetkin" is an adjective or pronoun in the plural nominative case. It describes or refers to the final entities within a set. The context in which it is used is crucial for understanding its precise meaning, but the core idea remains the inclusion of the concluding elements.
