aistimiseksi

Aistimiseksi is a Finnish grammatical form meaning “for sensing” or “in order to perceive.” It is the translative form attached to the nominal concept of perception, typically formed from the noun aistiminen (perceiving) with the translative suffix -eksi/-ksi, yielding aistimiseksi. The plurality of functions it expresses is purpose or utility, indicating that something is intended to sense or perceive.

In grammar, aistimiseksi serves to mark aim or role within a phrase. It is most common in written or technical Finnish, and appears in contexts discussing sensory processes, perception, or measurement. It tends to occur in formal prose, academic writing, and specifications rather than in casual speech.

Usage notes include its appearance in noun phrases such as aistimiseksi tarkoitetut mittausmenetelmät (measurement methods intended for sensing) or after passive constructions like laite on kehitetty aistimiseksi (the device has been developed for sensing). The form should not be confused with instrumental or genitive forms; its -ksi ending signals purpose related to perception.
