työelämänkin

The Finnish word "työelämänkin" is a compound word formed from "työelämä" and the enclitic "-kin". "Työelämä" translates to "working life" or "the world of work" in English. The enclitic "-kin" is a particle that adds emphasis, often meaning "also", "too", or "even". Therefore, "työelämänkin" can be translated as "even the working life" or "working life too".

This word is used in sentences to include the concept of working life within a broader context, suggesting that something applies not only to other areas but also to the professional sphere. For example, a sentence might discuss how societal changes affect families, and then add "työelämänkin" to indicate that these changes also impact the working lives of individuals. It serves to broaden the scope of a statement, ensuring that the working environment is recognized as a relevant domain. The particle "-kin" is attached directly to the genitive form of the noun "työelämä", which is "työelämän". This grammatical structure is common in Finnish for attaching enclitics to nouns. The usage of "työelämänkin" implies a comparison or an addition, highlighting that the subject matter extends to the professional realm in addition to other previously mentioned or implied areas.
