Katalysoimiseksi

Katalysoimiseksi is a Finnish expression meaning “for catalysis” or “in order to catalyze.” It is formed from the verb katalysoida (to catalyze) and uses a nominalizing/translative suffix to express purpose. The resulting form functions as a noun-like phrase that marks the intended aim or use of a procedure, substance, or condition.

In practice, katalysoimiseksi appears in technical and scientific language to specify the purpose of an action or preparation. For example, it can introduce a noun phrase such as “katalysoimiseksi tarvittavat olosuhteet” (the conditions necessary for catalysis) or serve as part of a larger clause describing experiments, materials, or processes designed for catalysis. It is typically used in formal writing, reports, and academic texts.

Usage notes: katalysoimiseksi is one of several Finnish ways to express purpose related to catalytic processes. Alternatives include phrases like “katalysointia varten” (for catalysis) or “katalysoimiseksi tarkoitetut” (intended for catalysis). The choice between them depends on register and stylistic preference. The term is most common in scientific Finnish and may be less frequent in everyday language.

Etymology: from the verb katalysoida, with nominalizing and translative endings that yield a form meaning “for the purpose of catalysis” or “in order to catalyze.” It is part of the broader vocabulary surrounding catalysis and chemical reaction optimization.
