lyhytaikaisemmatkin

Lyhytaikaisemmatkin is a Finnish morphologically complex adjective form meaning “even the shorter-term ones.” It combines the base adjective lyhytaikainen (short-term) with the comparative suffix -empi to form lyhytaikaisempi (shorter-term), the plural -mmat to yield lyhytaikaisemmat (the shorter-term ones), and the enclitic suffix -kin to express emphasis or inclusion, resulting in lyhytaikaisemmatkin. The word is typically used before a plural noun to highlight that among several options, the shorter-term ones are also included or considered.

In usage, lyhytaikaisemmatkin conveys nuance beyond a simple comparison, signaling that shorter-term possibilities are being acknowledged alongside others, often in discussions about plans, contracts, strategies, or forecasts. The enclitic kin is common in Finnish discourse and tends to appear in both spoken and written language, especially in lists or contrasts.
