käytöstäkin

Käytöstäkin is a Finnish word that translates to "even in behavior" or "even by behavior." It is a compound word formed from "käytös," meaning behavior or conduct, and the enclitic particle "-kin," which signifies "also" or "even." The word is used to emphasize that a particular aspect or consequence is present or observable even when considering behavior.

The nuance of käytöstäkin suggests that behavior itself, or the way someone acts, can be a source of something, or that something applies to behavior as well as other aspects. For instance, one might say that a particular quality or issue is evident "käytöstäkin," implying it's not just apparent in words or thoughts but also in observable actions. It can be used in contexts discussing how someone's actions reveal their true nature, or how certain standards apply not only to pronouncements but also to deeds.

The grammatical function of "-kin" is to add an element of inclusion or contrast. When attached to "käytös," it broadens the scope of what is being discussed. It suggests that while other factors might be at play, behavior is also a relevant consideration. This can be employed in discussions about responsibility, character assessment, or understanding motivations, where actions are seen as a significant, if not the sole, indicator. The precise meaning can vary slightly depending on the broader sentence structure and context in which käytöstäkin appears.
