Läpäistäkseen

L'äpäistäkseen is a Finnish verb form. It is the third infinitive of the verb "läpäistä", which means to pass through, penetrate, or get through. The "-kseen" ending signifies a purpose or intention. Therefore, "läpäistäkseen" translates to "in order to pass through," "for the purpose of penetrating," or "to get through."

This grammatical construction is used when describing an action that is performed with the goal of achieving the state of passing through something. For instance, one might say "Hän juoksi nopeasti läpäistäkseen väkijoukon," which means "He ran quickly in order to get through the crowd." The verb "juoksi" (ran) is the main action, and "läpäistäkseen" (in order to get through) explains the reason for his running.

The third infinitive is a common and useful feature of Finnish grammar, allowing for concise expression of purpose. It avoids the need for separate subordinate clauses in many situations. The structure is consistent across many Finnish verbs, with the "-kseen" ending being a key identifier for this specific infinitive form. Understanding this form is crucial for comprehending Finnish sentences that describe intentional actions leading to a state of passage or penetration.
