Rikastuttamaan

Rikastuttamaan is the active infinitive form of the Finnish verb rikastuttaa, meaning to enrich or to make richer. It is used to describe actions that increase value, diversity, or enjoyment of something, and it applies in both literal and figurative senses. For example, enriching experiences, knowledge, culture, or content are common contexts. In mining or ore processing, the related noun rikastus is more typical, while rikastuttaminen can refer to enrichment processes in a broader sense.

In Finnish, the -maan/-mään infinitive expresses purpose or intention and can function as a complement to certain predicates. The form rikastuttamaan is therefore used in constructions that denote aiming to enrich or to make something richer. Examples include: “Tavoitteena on rikastuttamaan oppimiskokemuksia.” and “Koulutuksen rikastuttaminen on tärkeä tavoite.” The verb rikastuttaa is transitive, and its object is usually in the partitive when the enrichment is ongoing or not fully realized, as in “oppimiskokemuksia rikastuttaa monipuolinen sisältö.”

Nominal and participial forms related to rikastuttamaan include rikastuttaminen (the act of enriching), rikastuttava (enriching), and rikastuttanut (enriched). These forms enable both process-focused and result-focused expressions, such as discussing strategies for enriching content or experiences, or describing something that has already been enriched.
