Saapuakseksi

Saapuakseksi is a Finnish word that translates to "to arrive" or "upon arrival." It is a temporal adverbial particle that indicates a point in time when an action or event takes place. The word itself is formed by combining the infinitive verb "saapua" (to arrive) with the translative case suffix "-kseksi," which signifies a change of state or purpose. Essentially, it denotes the state of being in the process of arriving or the specific moment of arrival.

In practical use, saapuakseksi often precedes a description of what happens or is relevant once someone or something has reached its destination. For example, one might say "Kun hän on saapuakseksi, ilmoita minulle" which translates to "When he is to arrive, inform me." This construction highlights the anticipation of the arrival and the subsequent action to be taken. The word is not typically used in isolation but rather as part of a larger sentence structure to convey a temporal relationship. Its meaning is closely tied to the concept of transition from a state of being elsewhere to a state of being present.
