Mobilisoidakseen

Mobilisoidakseen is the third infinitive form of the Finnish verb mobilisoida, meaning to mobilize. In Finnish grammar, the third infinitive (infinitiivin kolmas muoto) with the suffix -akseen is used to express purpose or intention in formal or written language. Mobilisoidakseen functions to indicate “in order to mobilize” and is often found in official statements, legal texts, and journalism describing plans or actions aimed at mobilizing resources, support, or capabilities.

Etymology and form: The stem mobilisoida is built from the root mobilis- (from English mobilize, via other European languages) plus Finnish -oida. The associated purpose form mobilisoidakseen attaches the -akseen ending to convey intention, similar to other Finnish verbs in the third infinitive. This form is not common in casual speech but appears in contexts that require precise articulation of aims or procedures.

Usage notes: Mobilisoidakseen is typically found after nouns or in clauses introduced by predicates of intention, such as “tavoitteena on” or “suunnitelmana on.” It can describe mobilization of financial resources, personnel, information networks, or logistical capabilities. The construction emphasizes the aim of the action rather than its immediate occurrence.

Examples:

- Tavoitteena on mobilisoidakseen varoja kriisin ratkaisemiseksi.

- Kokous käsitteli suunnitelmia mobilisoidakseen lahjoituksia.

- Hallitus esittää toimenpiteitä mobilisoidakseen osaajia nopeasti.
