lisäkorostukseksi

Lisäkorostukseksi is a Finnish word that translates to "for further emphasis" or "to further accentuate" in English. It is an adverbial phrase used to add extra weight or importance to a statement or point. This phrase typically follows a statement that has already been made, serving to reinforce its significance or clarify its intended meaning.

The construction of lisäkorostukseksi comes from the Finnish words "lisä" meaning "additional" or "extra," and "korostukseksi," which is the allative case of "korostus," meaning "emphasis" or "accentuation." Thus, literally, it signifies "as an additional emphasis."

This phrase is commonly employed in both spoken and written Finnish. For instance, someone might say, "Hän on todella taitava, ja lisäkorostukseksi hän on myös erittäin ahkera." This translates to "He is truly skilled, and for further emphasis, he is also very diligent." The phrase serves to highlight the second quality as an equally, if not more, important characteristic.

In formal contexts, such as academic writing or official reports, lisäkorostukseksi can be used to draw attention to a crucial finding or a particularly significant detail. Its purpose is to ensure that the reader fully grasps the importance of the preceding information. In informal conversation, it can be used to add a touch of rhetorical flourish or to simply underscore a point for conversational clarity.
