Palkitaksemme

Palkitaksemme is a Finnish word that translates to "to reward" or "in order to reward" in English. It is the translative case of the third infinitive of the verb "palkita," which means to reward or to pay. The translative case in Finnish grammar often indicates a change of state or a purpose. Therefore, "palkitaksemme" signifies the reason or purpose for an action, which is to provide a reward.

The word is commonly used in contexts where a reward is being offered or given as a consequence of some achievement, effort, or merit. For instance, an employer might say they are offering a bonus "palkitaksemme" their employees for exceeding sales targets. Similarly, a competition organizer might state that prizes are awarded "palkitaksemme" the winners for their exceptional performance.

Grammatically, "palkitaksemme" is formed by adding the translative suffix "-ksemme" to the third infinitive stem of the verb "palkita." The "-ksemme" ending specifically indicates that the action is being done for "us" or "our" benefit, implying a collective or reciprocal rewarding. In a broader sense, it can also be used to express the purpose of rewarding for a more general audience. The nuances of its usage depend on the surrounding sentence structure and context.
