Korjaamiseksi

Korjaamiseksi is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as the translative case of the noun korjaaminen, meaning the act of repairing. It conveys purpose, roughly translated as “in order to repair” or “for the purpose of repairing.” The form is formed by taking the verbal noun korjaaminen and adding the translative suffix -ksi, signaling a change of state or intended purpose.

In usage, korjaamiseksi is common in formal, technical, or legal language to specify what is being done for the sake of repair. It often appears in phrases indicating the object of repair or the aim of a set of actions. For example, Laitteen korjaamiseksi tarvitaan varaosia translates to “Spare parts are needed for the repair of the device.” Rakennuksen korjaamiseksi tehtävät toimenpiteet means “the measures undertaken for the repair of the building.” The form can also appear in contexts such as “korjaamiseksi tarkoitettu budjetti,” meaning a budget intended for repairs.

Notes on grammar and nuance: korjaamiseksi does not denote a completed action by itself; rather, it marks the purpose of actions or plans. It is used with nouns in the genitive scope when the object of repair is specified, and it commonly occurs in administrative, engineering, or maintenance contexts. While it is most frequent in written Finnish, it can appear in formal spoken language as well.
