rajoittaakseen

Rajoittaakseen is a Finnish word derived from the verb "rajoittaa," which means to limit, restrict, or confine. The "-kseen" ending signifies the third infinitive form, often translated as "in order to limit," "to limit," or "for the purpose of limiting." This grammatical construction is used to express a purpose or intention behind an action. For instance, one might say "Hän toimi nopeasti rajoittaakseen vahinkoa," which translates to "He acted quickly in order to limit the damage."

It is a versatile term used in various contexts, from legal and economic discussions to everyday situations. The nuance of "rajoittaakseen" lies in its forward-looking nature, indicating a deliberate effort to curb or contain a particular outcome or situation.
