ohjelmistojenkin

Ohjelmistojenkin is a Finnish word that translates literally to "even software" or "software too." It is a colloquial term used in everyday conversation to express that software, like other things, can also be subject to certain characteristics, issues, or behaviors. The word itself is formed by taking the Finnish word for software, "ohjelmisto," and adding the enclitic particle "kin," which signifies "even" or "too."

This particle "kin" is commonly appended to nouns, pronouns, or adverbs in Finnish to add emphasis or to indicate inclusion. Therefore, "ohjelmistojenkin" implies that software is being considered alongside other items or concepts that have already been mentioned or are understood in the context of the conversation. For instance, someone might say that a device is expensive, and then add "ohjelmistojenkin," meaning that the software component also contributes to the high cost, or is a factor to consider as well.

The usage of "ohjelmistojenkin" is informal and dependent on the surrounding context to fully convey its meaning. It's not a technical term but rather a linguistic nuance that reflects how Finnish speakers might broaden a discussion to encompass software as an additional element. The word highlights the relatable nature of software, suggesting it shares commonalities with other tangible or intangible items in terms of its attributes or impact.
