suurimmatkin

Suurimmatkin is a Finnish enclitic phrase used to emphasize the inclusion of even the most prominent members of a group. It combines the plural form of the superlative adjective suurin ("the biggest/the largest") with the enclitic particle -kin, which adds the sense of "even" or "also." The result is typically attached to a noun phrase, as in "suurimmatkin rakennukset" meaning "even the largest buildings."

Etymology and morphology: The word consists of "suurimmat" (the biggest, plural) plus the enclitic "-kin." In Finnish, -kin attaches to the word it modifies and expresses emphasis, inclusivity, or surprise. The combination is written as a single word: suurimmatkin. The form agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case, so it can appear in various contexts: for example, "suurimmatkin suunnitelmat voivat mennä pieleen" (the biggest plans can go wrong).

Usage and nuance: The construction underscores that no subset is exempt, even those at the top. It is common in spoken Finnish and in rhetorical writing and can modify adjectives before a noun. It can also appear in predicative position with the copula: "Nämä ovat suurimmatkin ongelmat" (These are even the biggest problems).

As a standalone title, there is no widely recognized work known simply as "Suurimmatkin." The phrase is primarily a grammatical construct rather than a fixed proper noun, though it could appear in headlines or creative text where emphasis is intended.
