Saadaakseen

Saadaakseen is a Finnish word. It is the translative plural form of the infinitive of the verb saada, which means "to get" or "to receive". Therefore, "saadaakseen" literally translates to "for the purpose of getting" or "in order to get".

This grammatical construction is used to express the purpose or intention behind an action. It typically follows another verb or a phrase indicating an action. For instance, "Hän meni kauppaan saadakseen leipää" translates to "He went to the store to get bread". In this sentence, "saadakseen leipää" explains the reason for going to the store.

The word "saadaakseen" is a compound word formed by combining the infinitive stem "saada-" with the translative plural ending "-kseen". This ending signifies "into the state of" or "for the purpose of". While the direct translation might seem a bit clunky in English, its function in Finnish is to clearly articulate the goal of an action. It is a common and essential part of expressing purpose in the Finnish language. The structure is similar to other purposive infinitive constructions in Finnish, such as "tullakseen" (to come) or "mennäkseen" (to go). Understanding this form is key to comprehending the nuances of Finnish sentence structure and intent.
