Saattamiseksi

Saattamiseksi is a Finnish grammatical form that expresses purpose. It is the translative form of the noun saattaminen, which means escorting or accompanying. The form is created from the verb saattaa (to accompany) combined with the verbal noun saattaminen and the translative suffix -ksi, yielding saattamiseksi. In use, saattamiseksi denotes that an action is undertaken for the purpose of accompanying someone or something—that is, “in order to accompany” or “for the purpose of escorting.”

In practice, saattamiseksi appears mainly in formal or administrative language. It is typical of legal, procedural, or instructional texts rather than everyday speech, where simpler expressions are preferred. The construction allows the author to specify the aim of an activity without naming a specific agent or result, focusing on the intended act of accompaniment.

Grammatical notes: saattamiseksi functions as a purpose-marking form within sentences. It can accompany nominal phrases or be embedded in larger constructions that indicate aims or obligations. Related terms include saattaminen (the act of accompanying), saattaja (an escort), and the verb saattaa (to accompany). The form aligns with other translative-purpose expressions in Finnish, such as tutustumiseksi (in order to familiarize oneself) or varmistamiseksi (to ensure).
