kaventamiseksi

Kaventamiseksi is a Finnish term used to express purpose: it means “in order to thin out” or “for thinning out.” It is formed from the verb kaventaa, meaning to reduce density or dilute, and the suffix -ksi that marks purpose, yielding kaventamiseksi: for thinning out. The form is typical in technical, planning, or guidelines language where actions are described with a stated aim.

In practical use, kaventamiseksi appears in contexts such as forestry, horticulture, landscape management, and environmental planning, where measures are taken to reduce density, improve air circulation, or promote healthier growth of remaining vegetation. It can also describe policy or project objectives that aim to decrease crowding in plant communities or to adjust composition and spacing of vegetation.

The term is often found in descriptions of procedures or regulations. For example, a management plan might state that certain actions are undertaken kaventamiseksi to achieve better light penetration, reduce competition among plants, or facilitate monitoring and maintenance. While kaventamiseksi is most common in technical documents, it can also appear in more general discussions about vegetation management when the purpose of thinning is explicitly stated.
