aloittamiseksi

Aloittamiseksi is a Finnish word that expresses purpose, meaning “in order to start” or “for starting.” It is a translative form derived from the noun aloittaminen (the act of starting) plus the translative suffix -ksi. The construction is commonly used in formal or administrative language to indicate the goal or objective of an action.

The form is typically attached to a noun in the genitive to specify what is being started. For example, hankkeen aloittamiseksi means “in order to start the project,” projektin aloittamiseksi means “in order to start the project,” and koulutusten aloittamiseksi means “in order to start the trainings.” This usage highlights the purpose behind planning, decision-making, or resource allocation.

In practice, aloittamiseksi appears in planning documents, proposals, and official communications where the aim of a measure or plan needs to be stated clearly. It tends to appear in more formal contexts; in everyday language, alternatives such as aloittamista varten or the infinitive phrase to start may be preferred for ease of understanding.
