toisaankin

Toisaankin is a Finnish adverb that roughly translates to "also," "again," or "besides" in English. It is often used to add an additional point or consideration to something that has already been stated. The word conveys a sense of continuation or a further aspect to a discussion.

The adverb "toisaankin" is formed from the word "toinen," meaning "another" or "second," combined with the particle "-kin," which acts as an enclitic to emphasize or add a nuance. This etymological origin helps explain its meaning of introducing something further or different.

For example, one might say "Minä pidän kahvista, ja toisaankin teestä" which translates to "I like coffee, and besides, I also like tea." In this instance, "toisaankin" adds tea as another beverage that is liked, in addition to coffee. It can also imply "yet again" or "still" in certain contexts, suggesting a recurring situation or an ongoing state. The precise English translation often depends heavily on the surrounding sentence structure and the intended emphasis.
