nousisivatkin

nousisivatkin is a Finnish word that translates to "they would have lifted" or "they would have raised." It is the conditional past tense form of the verb "nostaa," meaning "to lift" or "to raise." The "-vat" ending indicates the third-person plural subject, and the "-kin" suffix adds a sense of emphasis or perhaps a slight nuance of surprise or unexpectedness to the action.

This particular verb form is used in hypothetical situations where an action of lifting or raising would have occurred in the past under certain conditions that were not met. For example, one might say "Jos he olisivat nähneet sen, he olisivat nostaneet sen" which translates to "If they had seen it, they would have lifted it." In this sentence, "nousisivatkin" is not used, but it illustrates the concept of a past hypothetical action. The "-kin" suffix could be used to convey something like "they would have lifted it, after all" or "they would have lifted it, surprisingly."

The word "nousisivatkin" is relatively uncommon in everyday conversation, typically appearing in more formal or literary contexts where complex conditional sentences are employed. Its precise meaning can be further refined by the surrounding sentence structure and the overall context of the discourse.
