Tuottamiseksi

Tuottamiseksi is a Finnish grammatical form that conveys the idea of “for the purpose of producing” or “in order to produce.” It is built from the noun tuottaminen (production, making) or from the verb tuottaa (to produce) with the translative suffix -ksi, which in this context expresses purpose or intended function. The result is a noun-inflected phrase that modifies another noun or appears as part of a larger noun phrase.

Usage and function

In formal or written Finnish, tuottamiseksi is used to indicate the aim or objective of an action, project, or set of measures. It commonly appears in policy texts, contracts, and reports to specify what is intended to be achieved through a given activity. The construction can modify nouns directly, as in tuottamiseksi suunnitellut toimenpiteet (measures designed for production) or tuottamiseksi tarkoitetut investoinnit (investments intended for production). It can also appear within longer phrases that describe the purpose of resources or processes.

Relation to other forms

Tuottamiseksi is related to other purpose-driven expressions such as varten or jotta + verb forms, but it has a more formal, objective tone often found in administrative language. It is also connected to the base noun tuottaminen (production) and the verb tuottaa (to produce). In everyday speech, speakers may use more colloquial alternatives like tuotannon vuoksi (for production) or tuottamisen takia.
