huomioidakseen
Huomioidakseen is a purposive infinitive form of the Finnish verb huomioida, meaning to notice, to pay attention to, or to take into account. The form is non-finite and is used to express the purpose or aim of an action in a subordinate clause. It is formed by attaching the suffix -akseen to the verb stem, with phonetic adjustments where needed (for example, huomioi + dakseen becomes huomioidakseen). The -akseen suffix is a characteristic feature of Finnish purposive infinitives and appears with a range of verbs, such as käyttääkseen or huomioidakseen.
