neutraloimiseksi

Neutraloimiseksi is a Finnish expression meaning “in order to neutralize” or “for the purpose of neutralization.” It is formed from the verb neutraloida (to neutralize) and is used to indicate the aim of an action, typically in formal or technical writing. The form is commonly encountered in contexts where a procedure, treatment, or intervention is described with the explicit goal of reducing acidity or removing a harmful effect.

Linguistically, neutraloimiseksi is derived from the act of neutralizing (neutraloiminen) and the purpose suffix -eksi, producing a phrase that functions as a purpose clause. In sentences it answers questions such as why a step is taken or what the outcome is intended to be. It is generally more frequent in scientific, environmental, medical, and regulatory texts than in everyday speech, where simpler phrases such as “neutraloida varten” are sometimes used.

Common domains of use include chemistry and environmental science, where neutralization reactions are described to bring pH to a desired level, and environmental remediation or water treatment, where substances are added to neutraloimiseksi to mitigate contamination. In medicine or toxicology, the term can appear in procedures designed to neutralize toxins or hazardous compounds. It can also appear in policy or regulatory contexts, describing required actions “neutraloimiseksi” of problematic agents.
