toimivatkin

Toimivatkin is a Finnish word that can be translated in several ways depending on the context, but often conveys the idea of something being functional, working, or effective. It is the third-person singular present indicative form of the verb "toimia," which means to function, work, act, or operate. The addition of the "-kin" suffix in Finnish typically adds an emphasis, implying "also," "too," or "even." Therefore, "toimivatkin" can be understood as "it also works," "it works too," or "even it works."

The specific meaning of toimivatkin is highly dependent on the surrounding sentence. For example, if someone is discussing a new machine that is not performing as expected, and then they say "mutta tämä toimivatkin," it means "but this one also works." Similarly, if comparing several options and one is found to be surprisingly effective, one might say "tämä vanha malli toimivatkin," meaning "this old model even works." The word's versatility makes it a useful part of everyday Finnish conversation, allowing for nuanced expression of functionality and unexpected effectiveness.
