suojauduakseen

The Finnish word "suojauduakseen" is the third-person singular illative form of the reflexive verb "suojautua." It translates to "in order to protect oneself" or "so that they might protect themselves." The root word "suojata" means "to protect." The "-utu-" suffix indicates a reflexive action, meaning the subject of the verb is performing the action on themselves. The "-akseen" ending signifies the illative case, which expresses purpose or intention.

Therefore, "suojauduakseen" is used in a sentence to explain the reason or purpose behind an action, specifically when the subject's intention is self-protection. For instance, one might say "Hän puki lämpimästi suojauduakseen kylmältä," which translates to "He dressed warmly in order to protect himself from the cold." This grammatical construction is common in Finnish when describing why a person or entity takes a particular action aimed at safeguarding themselves from a perceived threat or negative condition. The word itself encapsulates the concept of proactive self-preservation.
