Valitsemiseksi

Valitsemiseksi is a Finnish translative form derived from the verb valita (to choose) through the nominalizing process that yields valitseminen (the act of choosing) and the translative suffix -ksi. Taken together, valitsemiseksi expresses purpose or function, roughly translating to “for the selection (of)” or “in order to select.” It is a grammatical construction used to indicate the aim of an action or procedure.

In usage, valitsemiseksi is common in formal, administrative, and legal language. It typically appears with a genitive noun in front to specify what is being selected. For example, hakijoiden valitsemiseksi means “for the selection of applicants.” Another example is valitsemiseksi tarvittavat tiedot, meaning “the information required for the selection.” The phrase emphasizes the purpose of a process rather than describing the process itself.

Flexibility and style-wise, valitsemiseksi is primarily found in written Finnish, especially in governmental, organizational, or policy documents. In everyday speech, speakers may use simpler expressions such as valinnan järjestämiseksi or the noun form valinta, depending on the context. As a grammatical tool, valitsemiseksi helps distribute emphasis on the outcome (the selection) and the objective (the purpose of selecting) within a sentence.

Related terms include valinta (selection, choice) and valitseminen (the act of choosing). Understanding valitsemiseksi aids reading and composing formal texts that outline procedures, criteria, and purposes related to selecting people, items, or options.
