Laskeutuakseen

Laskeutuakseen is a Finnish verb form. It is the third infinitive, illative case, of the verb laskeutua. Laskeutua means to descend, to land, or to settle. The illative case in Finnish often indicates movement into or towards a place or state. Therefore, laskeutuakseen literally translates to "in order to descend" or "for the purpose of landing."

This form is used in subordinate clauses to express purpose. It is typically followed by a possessive suffix. For example, "Hän tuli paikalle laskeutuakseen" translates to "He came to the spot in order to land." The subject of the infinitive is often the same as the subject of the main verb, but it can also refer to a different entity, especially when a possessive suffix is used. For instance, "Lentokoneen laskeutuakseen tarvittiin tilaa" means "Space was needed for the airplane to land." The structure emphasizes the intention or necessity of the action of descending or landing.
