stimuloimiseksi

Stimuloimiseksi is a Finnish grammatical form meaning “for the purpose of stimulating” or “in order to stimulate.” It is derived from the verb stimuloida (to stimulate) and is built from the nominalized stem stimuloiminen (stimulation) with the translative ending -eksi, used to express purpose.

Grammatical role and use

Stimuloimiseksi is a non-finite expression that marks aim or purpose of an action. It commonly appears in formal or written Finnish, especially in policy texts, research reports, and official communications. The construction often synchronizes with a main clause that states an action undertaken to achieve the stated goal, for example: Tutkimuksen stimuloimiseksi on lisättävä rahoitusta (In order to stimulate research, funding must be increased).

Morphology and related forms

The base verb is stimuloida; the associated noun is stimuloiminen (stimulation). The form stimuloimiseksi combines the noun with the translative -eksi, indicating purpose. Related forms include stimuloida (to stimulate) and stimuloiminen (stimulation, the act of stimulating).

Semantic scope

Stimuloimiseksi emphasizes intentional action taken to provoke a stimulative effect. It is interchangeable with phrases like “tarkoituksena stimuloida” in many contexts, though the single-word form is preferred in compact, formal prose. It can appear with possessives and nouns in genitive to specify what is being stimulated (for example, tutkimuksen stimuloimiseksi, työmotivaation stimuloimiseksi).

Usage considerations

Because stimuloimiseksi is relatively formal, it is most common in written, administrative, or academic Finnish. Its meaning is clear: the action described is undertaken specifically to produce stimulation in the target area or phenomenon.
