Raportoimiseksi

Raportoimiseksi is a Finnish linguistic form derived from raportointi (reporting) with the translative suffix -ksi. It expresses purpose or intended use, roughly translating to “for reporting” or “in order to report.” The form is common in formal, administrative, and technical language.

In practice, raportoimiseksi is used to indicate that a person, tool, or process exists for the purpose of reporting information. It functions as a purpose-bearing phrase within a sentence, similar in meaning to other purpose expressions but more compact. The -ksi suffix marks the intended function or outcome rather than a habitual action.

Examples of usage include phrases such as:

- sovellus on suunniteltu raportoimiseksi sääntöjen noudattamisen varmistamiseksi (the application is designed for reporting in order to ensure compliance).

- hankkeen tuloksista laaditaan yhteenveto raportoimiseksi sidosryhmille (a summary of the project results is prepared for reporting to stakeholders).

- järjestelmä on tarkoitettu raportoimiseksi reaaliaikaisesti (the system is meant for reporting in real time).

Related terms include raportointi (reporting) and raportoida (to report). The form raportoimiseksi also contrasts with ilmeisemmin toimintoja tai tehtäviä ilmaiseviin kasvoihin, such as raportoijaksi (to become a reporter) or raportointiin liittyvät termit, which describe aspects of reporting rather than its purpose.
