rentouttamaan

Rentouttamaan is a Finnish verb in the third infinitive form derived from rentouttaa. The core meaning is to cause relaxation or to loosen tension, whether applied to people, muscles, environments, or more abstract conditions such as rules or atmospheres. The base verb rentouttaa is transitive and takes a direct object.

In Finnish grammar, rentouttamaan functions as a non-finite form used in certain constructions to express purpose, intention, or the act of causing relaxation. It is not the most common finite form in everyday speech; speakers typically use the finite form rentouttaa for simple statements and purposes, while rentouttamaan appears mainly in written or formal contexts when the sentence requires a non-finite or purpose-related construction.

Related noun forms include rentouttaminen, referring to the act or process of relaxing, and rentoutuminen, referring to the state of being relaxed. The concept covers both physical relaxation (for example, relaxing muscles or tense shoulders) and broader loosening of conditions, such as relaxing guidelines or atmospheres.
