tähtääkin

Tähtääkin is a Finnish word that functions as an adverb. It is derived from the verb "tähdätä" (to aim, to target) and the suffix "-kin" which adds emphasis, similar to "also," "too," or "indeed" in English. Therefore, "tähtääkin" can be translated as "also aims," "aims indeed," or "does aim."

The precise meaning of "tähtääkin" is highly dependent on the context of the sentence in which it appears. It is used to emphasize that something or someone has an aim or goal, often in addition to other stated aims or in contrast to what might have been expected. For example, one might say "Hän tähtääkin korkeammalle kuin luulimme," which translates to "He indeed aims higher than we thought." Here, "-kin" emphasizes the higher aspiration.

Another usage might be to indicate a secondary or additional target. If a plan has one objective, but also "tähtääkin" another, it implies a dual purpose. The word adds a layer of nuance, suggesting a deliberate intention or a surprising facet to the aim being discussed. Its grammatical function is to modify the verb "tähdätä," providing extra information about the nature of the aiming.
