kannattamiselle

Kannattamiselle is a Finnish word that generally translates to "for supporting" or "for the sake of supporting." It is a dative case form of the noun kannattaminen, which means "supporting" or "bearing." The word is often used in contexts where an action is undertaken or justified with the purpose of providing support, either physically or figuratively.

For instance, in a sentence like "rakennus on rakennettu kannattamiselle," it would mean "the building is built for support" or "the building is built to bear weight." This implies that the structural integrity and design of the building are primarily focused on its load-bearing capabilities.

Figuratively, kannattamiselle can refer to supporting an idea, a cause, or a person. "Hän teki työtä kannattamiselle" could be interpreted as "He worked for the sake of support," implying that his efforts were aimed at bolstering or upholding something or someone. The specific nuance depends heavily on the surrounding context in which the word is used. It emphasizes the purpose or intention behind an action related to providing assistance or stability.
