imeyttääkseen

imeyttääkseen is a Finnish verb form. It is the third infinitive, a grammatical construction used to express purpose or intention. In this case, it is the active form, implying that the subject of the sentence is performing the action. The verb stem is "ime-" which means to absorb or suck. Therefore, "imeyttääkseen" translates to "in order to absorb" or "for the purpose of absorbing."

This grammatical form is often used in subordinate clauses, typically following a main clause that describes the action taken. For example, "Hän laittoi ruokaa imeyttääkseen sen makuja." (He cooked the food in order to absorb its flavors.) Here, "imeyttääkseen" indicates the reason or purpose behind the action of cooking. It is a common and integral part of Finnish sentence structure for conveying goal-oriented actions. The form is invariable and does not change based on person or number.
