rajoittaakin

Rajoittaakin is a Finnish word that functions as an adverb or a conjunction. As an adverb, it means "to limit" or "to restrict." It is often used to indicate that something is not absolute or completely free. For example, one might say "hän rajoittaakin sananvapautta" which translates to "he limits freedom of speech." This usage implies an action of imposing boundaries or constraints.

As a conjunction, rajoittaakin can mean "however," "but," or "nevertheless." In this sense, it introduces a contrasting idea or a qualification to a previous statement. For instance, "sää oli huono, rajoittaakin menimme ulos" could be translated as "the weather was bad, however, we went outside." Here, it connects two clauses where the second clause presents a situation that goes against or modifies the expectation set by the first clause. The particle "kin" attached to "rajoittaa" can add emphasis, suggesting "also limits" or "indeed restricts" in its adverbial use, and "but also" or "but still" in its conjunctive function. Understanding the context is crucial for correctly interpreting its precise meaning.
