Luodakseen

Luodakseen is a Finnish verb form derived from the base verb luoda, meaning "to create." It is formed by adding the purpose-infinitive suffix -akseen or -äkseen (depending on vowel harmony) to the verb stem and is typically translated as "in order to create" or "so as to create."

Grammatically, luodakseen expresses purpose and is used in subordinate clauses that indicate intention or goal. It commonly implies a third-person subject (singular or plural) and often refers back to the subject of the main clause, although contextual cues determine the precise reference. The form is more frequent in written and formal language than in casual speech, where other constructions such as niin että ("so that") or a simple infinitive phrase might be preferred.

Examples:

- Hän työskentelee luodakseen paremmat edellytykset. (He/she works in order to create better conditions.)

- Yritys investoi tutkimukseen luodakseen uuden tuotteen. (The company invests in research to create a new product.)

Usage notes: the suffix follows Finnish vowel harmony rules (-akseen after back vowels, -äkseen after front vowels). The form can sometimes appear ambiguous with respect to number or tense, so surrounding context and agreement with the main clause usually clarify meaning. Luodakseen is one of several Finnish constructions for expressing purpose and intention.
