kiinnittymiseksi

Kiinnittymiseksi is a Finnish grammatical form derived from kiinnittyminen, the noun for the act of attaching or adhesion. It uses the translative suffix -ksi to express a change of state or a purpose, giving the sense “in order to become attached” or “for attachment.”

Form and origin: kiinnittyminen (the act of attaching) serves as the base, and adding the translative suffix -ksi yields kiinnittymiseksi. This construction is the translative form of kiinnittyminen and is used to indicate a designated outcome or purpose related to attachment.

Usage and nuance: Kiinnittymiseksi is primarily found in formal or technical language. It is used to denote the intended outcome of an action or the state something is being made to reach. In everyday Finnish, other forms such as kiinnittyminen or kiinnittymiseen are more common; kiinnittymiseksi tends to appear in contexts describing procedures, engineering, science, or theoretical discussions where the emphasis is on “for attachment” or “to become attached.”

Contexts: The term can appear in materials science and engineering discussions about adhesion to surfaces, in construction or manufacturing processes, in biology when describing cell or tissue adhesion, or in social sciences when discussing attachment formation as a state or goal.
