tieteissäkin

Tieteissäkin is a Finnish word that translates to "even in science" or "in science too." It is commonly used in Finnish to emphasize that a particular phenomenon, concept, or approach, which might otherwise be considered outside the realm of scientific inquiry or perhaps even mundane, also exists or is relevant within scientific disciplines. The word is a combination of "tiede" (science) and the inessive plural suffix "-issä" (in), combined with the particle "-kin" which conveys the meaning of "also" or "even."

The usage of "tieteissäkin" often serves to broaden the perceived scope of science, suggesting that subjective experiences, everyday observations, or even seemingly trivial matters can be subjects of scientific study. For example, one might say that emotions are studied "tieteissäkin" to highlight that psychology and neuroscience investigate what might be commonly thought of as personal feelings. Similarly, it can be used to introduce a scientific perspective on a topic usually discussed in non-scientific contexts, such as art or philosophy, implying that scientific methods can offer new insights into these areas. The particle "-kin" is crucial for its meaning, differentiating it from simply stating something is "in science." It implies a comparison or an unexpected inclusion.
