laukaisemaan

Laukaisemaan is a Finnish verb form derived from lau­kaista, meaning to trigger, discharge, or set off. The word describes the action of initiating a device, mechanism, or process, and it can also be used figuratively to indicate prompting a reaction or a sequence of events. In practical use, it covers both literal triggering (for example, firing a weapon or activating an alarm) and electronic or mechanical activation (such as triggering a timer or starting a program). It is common in news, technical descriptions, and everyday language when discussing causes and consequences of actions.

Grammatically, laukaisemaan is one of Finnish infinitive forms derived from lau­kaista. It is used in constructions where the action is framed as an intended or prospective event, or within infinitival clauses. Like other verb forms, it is inflected to agree with subject and tense, for example: minä laukaise­n, hän laukaisee, me lauka­isimme, he laukaisevat. The form itself appears in contexts that express purpose or future-oriented action, often alongside auxiliary verbs or in subordinate clauses.

Related terms include laukaisu, the noun denoting the act of triggering or discharge, and laukaiseminen, the act of triggering. In Finnish, the term is versatile across domains, ranging from weaponry and safety systems to automation and metaphorical uses describing actions that precipitate an effect or change.
