saavuttamiseksi

Saavuttamiseksi is a Finnish purposive form derived from the verb saavuttaa, meaning to achieve or attain. The form functions as an adverbial expression equivalent to "in order to achieve" or "for the purpose of achieving" and is commonly used in formal or written Finnish to outline aims or objectives.

Grammatically, saavuttamiseksi is built from saavuttaminen (the nominalized form “achievement” or “attainment”) with the suffix -eksi, which marks purpose. It typically follows a noun in the genitive that names the goal, for example tavoitteen saavuttamiseksi (in order to achieve the goal) or turvallisuuden saavuttamiseksi (for the purpose of ensuring safety). The structure is often used to introduce a subordinate clause expressing the objective of an action.

Examples include: "Tavoitteiden saavuttamiseksi laadimme kattavan suunnitelman." (To achieve the goals, we will prepare a comprehensive plan.) "Koulutuksen parantaminen on välttämätöntä oppimistavoitteiden saavuttamiseksi." (Improving education is essential for the attainment of learning objectives.) "Yritys investoi resursseja tuloskasvun saavuttamiseksi." (The company invests resources to achieve revenue growth.)

Usage notes: saavuttamiseksi conveys formality and is typical in policy documents, reports, and academic writing. In everyday speech, speakers may use simpler constructions such as "tavoitteiden saavuttamiseen" or "saavuttaa tavoitteet" to express similar ideas. Related terms include saavuttaminen (achievement/attainment) and tavoite (goal).
