Kuumentaakseen is a Finnish verb form. It is the third infinitive form of the verb "kuumentaa," which means "to heat" or "to warm." The third infinitive in Finnish is typically used to express purpose or intention, often translated as "in order to heat" or "to heat."

The structure of the third infinitive in Finnish involves adding the suffix "-kseen" to the verb stem. For "kuumentaa," the stem is "kuumenna-." Therefore, "kuumentaakseen" literally translates to "for the purpose of heating." This form is frequently used in subordinate clauses or when a specific objective is being described. For instance, one might say "Hän lisäsi puita uuniin kuumentaakseen taloa" which translates to "He added wood to the stove in order to heat the house." The verb "kuumentaa" itself is derived from the adjective "kuuma," meaning "hot." Thus, the core meaning revolves around the act of making something hot or increasing its temperature. The "-kseen" ending signifies a goal-oriented action.
