imeytyäkseen

Imeytyäkseen is a Finnish verb phrase that translates to "in order to become" or "so as to become" in English. It is used to express the purpose or intention behind an action, indicating that the action is performed with the goal of achieving a certain state or condition. The phrase is constructed by combining the verb "imeytyä" (to become) with the infinitive form of another verb, preceded by the particle "kseen" (which is a variant of the particle "ksesi" used in the infinitive form).

For example, "Hän opiskelee imetyäkseen englantia" translates to "He studies in order to become proficient in English." In this sentence, "opiskelee" (studies) is the action performed, and "imeytyäkseen englantia" (in order to become proficient in English) is the purpose or intention behind the action.

The use of "imeytyäkseen" is common in Finnish to express the purpose or intention behind an action, and it is often used in formal or written contexts. It is important to note that the verb "imeytyä" is not commonly used in everyday speech, and the phrase "imeytyäkseen" is more commonly used in formal or written contexts.
