palautumiseksi

Palautumiseksi is a Finnish grammatical form that expresses purpose. It is the translative form of the noun palautuminen, meaning “for the purpose of recovery” or “in order to recover.” The form is used to indicate the intended outcome or aim of an action, typically in formal or technical language.

The base palautuminen comes from the verb palautua, meaning “to return” or “to recover,” and the noun-forming suffix -minen. The translative suffix -ksi marks a change of state toward something desired or targeted, and it is commonly translated as “for” or “in order to become.” In practice, palautumiseksi introduces a phrase that states the objective behind a given action, such as restoring normal operations, healing, or regaining stability.

Examples of use are most common in administrative, medical, or safety-related texts. For instance: “Järjestelmän toiminnan palautumiseksi on tehty varotoimia,” meaning “Precautions have been taken for the restoration of the system’s operation.” Another example: “Potilaan toipumiseksi on annettava lepoa,” meaning “Rest should be provided to aid the patient’s recovery.” The term is thus a formal way to express purpose and desired outcome in a process or intervention.

Related terms include palautuminen (recovery), palautua (to recover/return), and palauttaminen (restoration, returning something). Palautumiseksi is not typically used to describe a simple physical return to a place, but rather the intended outcome or aim of actions taken to achieve recovery or restoration.
