viimeisellekin

"viimeisellekin" is a Finnish word that translates to "even for the last one" or "even to the last." It is an emphatic form of the word "viimeinen," meaning "last." The addition of the "-kin" suffix serves to highlight or emphasize that something applies even to the very last item, person, or instance in a sequence.

This word is often used to convey a sense of inclusivity or to stress that no one or nothing is left out. For example, one might say "Annoimme lahjoja viimeisellekin lapselle," which means "We gave gifts even to the last child," emphasizing that every child received a gift. It can also be used to express a finality or a point beyond which something cannot go, such as "Ei enää viimeisellekin asti," meaning "Not even to the very last one anymore."

The grammatical structure of "viimeisellekin" combines the allative case of "viimeinen" ("viimeiselle," meaning "to the last") with the emphatic particle "-kin." This combination creates a distinct nuance that distinguishes it from simply saying "viimeiselle." The word's usage is common in everyday Finnish conversation and literature, adding a layer of emphasis and detail to statements about sequences and finality.
