English Translation
He’ll be here any second.
Is the Finnish sentence correct? I don’t understand ‘minä hyvänsä’.
That’s the part that corresponds to “any”. It’s also synonymous with “tahansa” in this context. Wiktionary has many usage examples there: tahansa - Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Edit: In case you’re confused about “minä”, that’s the essive of “mikä” in this case, following the case of “hetkenä”. It’s not “I” here.

Ha, yes, you are right I was confused by ‘minä’. However, I have seen similarly cases with ‘sinä’, for example ‘Olitteko heidän kanssaan sinä iltana?’.
The word order is a bit surprising; wouldn’t “minä hetkenä hyvänsä” or “minä hyvänsä hetkenä” also work?
