yksinkertaisenkin

Yksinkertaisenkin is a Finnish word that functions as a genitive form of the adjective "yksinkertainen." The base word "yksinkertainen" translates to "simple" or "plain" in English. Therefore, "yksinkertaisenkin" essentially means "even of the simple" or "even of the plain." This form is used to indicate that something applies or is true even in the most basic or uncomplicated of cases.

The suffix "-kin" in Finnish is an enclitic particle that adds emphasis, often conveying a sense of "even," "also," or "too." When attached to the genitive form of an adjective, it suggests that the quality described by the adjective, even in its simplest manifestation, is notable or significant in some way. For example, in a sentence like "Tämä ratkaisu oli yksinkertaisenkin selvä," it would mean "This solution was clear even of the simple," implying that the clarity was evident even in a straightforward approach.

This construction is common in Finnish when expressing possession, belonging, or when acting as a possessive attribute. The word's usage highlights the idea that simplicity itself, or a characteristic associated with simplicity, is being emphasized as being inclusive of a particular point or observation. It's a nuanced way to express that a statement or condition holds true universally, even extending to the most basic examples.
