Tuottaakseen

Tuottaakseen is a Finnish grammatical form. It is the genitive form of the infinitive of the verb 'tuottaa', which means to produce, generate, or yield. In essence, 'tuottaakseen' translates to "in order to produce" or "for the purpose of producing."

This grammatical construction is used to express purpose or intention in a subordinate clause. It typically follows a main clause that describes an action or state, and the 'tuottaakseen' clause explains the reason or goal behind that action. For example, in the sentence "Hän työskenteli ahkerasti tuottaakseen hyvää tulosta" (He worked hard in order to produce good results), 'tuottaakseen' clearly indicates the purpose of his hard work.

The structure involves the verb stem 'tuotta-' followed by the infinitive marker '-a' and the genitive personal ending '-kseen', which signifies "for oneself" or "for its own sake" in this context, making the entire phrase "in order to produce (for itself/himself/herself/themselves)." It is a common and essential element in Finnish sentence construction for conveying purpose.
