lävistetäänkin

The term "lävistetäänkin" is a Finnish word that translates to "even pierced" or "pierced too" in English. It is a grammatical construction that emphasizes the act of piercing or being pierced, often in a context where something else has also occurred or been affected.

The word is formed by combining the verb "lävistää" (to pierce) with the enclitic particle "-kin" (even, too, also). This particle attaches to the end of the word to add a sense of addition or emphasis. Therefore, "lävistetäänkin" specifically refers to the passive voice, indicating that something is being pierced, with the added nuance of "even" or "also."

For example, in a sentence, "Hän lävistetäänkin kolme kertaa" could mean "He is even pierced three times," implying that being pierced once might be expected, but being pierced multiple times is an additional or surprising element. The context in which "lävistetäänkin" is used will determine the exact shade of meaning. It can be applied to various situations, from physical piercings to metaphorical ones, such as piercing through difficulties or piercing someone's heart with sadness. The "-kin" particle is a common feature in Finnish grammar, used to add emphasis or a sense of "too" or "also" to various words and phrases, not just verbs.
