suurimmillakin

Suurimmillakin is a Finnish grammatical form built from the adjective suurin, meaning “the biggest,” combined with the locative plural suffix -illa and the enclitic particle -kin, meaning “also” or “even.” The result, suurimmillakin, conveys the sense of “even among the biggest ones” or “even the biggest ones.” It is used to stress that a statement applies not only to typical cases but also to the extreme or most prominent examples.

In use, suurimmillakin typically appears in clauses that compare groups or generalize across a wide range of cases. The particle -kin adds emphasis or inclusivity, signaling that the point extends to the upper end of a scale. The form is most common in written Finnish, especially in formal, analytical, or opinionated contexts, but it can occur in speech as well.

Examples:

- Suurimmillakin yrityksillä on vastuunsa. (Even the largest companies have their responsibilities.)

- Suurimmillakin paikkakunnilla järjestetään tapahtumia. (Even in the biggest towns, events are organized.)

- Suurimmillakin alueilla sääolosuhteet vaihtelevat. (Even in the largest regions, weather conditions vary.)

Notes:

- The form is one word: suurimmillakin.

- It modifies a noun in plural or refers to a set described by the related case (often on- or at-sense), not a standalone adjective.
