pimeässäkin

"Pimeässäkin" is a Finnish word that translates to "even in the dark" or "even in darkness." It is a compound word formed from "pimeä" meaning "dark" or "darkness," and the suffix "-kin," which is an enclitic particle that adds emphasis, often conveying a sense of "even" or "also."

The word "pimeässäkin" is used to express that something is possible, true, or observable despite the absence of light. It can be used in various contexts, both literal and figurative. Literally, it might refer to the ability to see or navigate in low-light conditions, such as "Hän löysi avaimen pimeässäkin" (He found the key even in the dark). Figuratively, it can describe resilience, determination, or a positive outcome in difficult or bleak circumstances. For example, "Toivo elää pimeässäkin" (Hope lives even in darkness) conveys the idea that hope can persist even when things seem hopeless.

The particle "-kin" adds a nuance of unexpectedness or determination to the statement. It suggests that the action or state described would be difficult or unlikely given the darkness, but it happens nonetheless. This makes "pimeässäkin" a versatile phrase for emphasizing perseverance and the ability to overcome challenges.
