liittyvätkin

liittyvätkin is a Finnish verb form that signals that something is related or connected, with an emphasis conveyed by the particle -kin, which means "also" or "indeed." It is derived from the verb liittyä, meaning "to be related" or "to be connected," and the -kin particle attaches to the finite verb form to highlight an additional or confirming relation.

Morphologically, liittyvätkin is the third-person plural present tense of liittyä combined with -kin. The base form liittyvät is the present tense for “they relate,” and adding -kin creates liittyvätkin, used to underline that the relation applies to the items under discussion as well as to others already mentioned or implied. The word is a standard example of Finnish mood and particle interaction, and the -kin suffix does not change the tense or valence of the verb.

Usage and nuance, Finnish speakers use liittyvätkin to stress that certain elements are connected in the same way as others, often in lists, arguments, or explanatory passages. The nuance can range from neutral emphasis to a softer or more conversational tone, depending on context. It is common in both written and spoken Finnish, especially when clarifying how several factors relate to one another.

Examples:

- Nämä ilmiöt liittyvätkin toisiinsa. (These phenomena are indeed related to one another.)

- Hankkeen eri osa-alueet liittyvätkin yhteen, mikä vaikuttaa aikatauluun. (The different parts of the project are connected, which impacts the schedule.)

liittyvätkin is therefore a punctuation- and nuance-rich tool for pointing out connections within a broader discussion.
