Tyydyttäkseen

Tyydyttäkseen is a Finnish verb form. It is the third infinitive, passive, illative case of the verb tyydyttää. The verb tyydyttää means to satisfy, to appease, or to content. The third infinitive form is used to express purpose or aim, often translated as "in order to satisfy" or "for the purpose of satisfying." The passive voice indicates that the subject of the sentence is acted upon, rather than performing the action. The illative case signifies movement into or towards a place or state. Therefore, "tyydyttäkseen" implies a movement or progression towards a state of being satisfied, or an action taken for the sake of achieving satisfaction. This grammatical construction is common in Finnish when describing an action undertaken with a specific goal of fulfilling a need or desire. For example, one might say "Hän teki töitä tyydyttääkseen perheensä tarpeet," which translates to "He worked in order to satisfy his family's needs." The form "tyydyttäkseen" specifically highlights the purpose behind the action.
