sytyttämiseksi

Sytyttämiseksi is a Finnish word that translates to "for igniting" or "to ignite" in English. It is a form of the verb "sytyttää," which means "to ignite," "to light," or "to set fire to." The "-ksi" suffix in Finnish often indicates purpose or a dative case, thus "sytyttämiseksi" signifies the action or purpose of causing something to burn or catch fire.

The word can be used in various contexts. In a literal sense, it refers to the act of starting a fire, such as lighting a candle, a campfire, or a stove. For example, one might say "sytyttämiseksi tarvitaan tulitikkuja," meaning "matches are needed for igniting."

Figuratively, "sytyttämiseksi" can also refer to sparking interest, enthusiasm, or emotion. It can mean to inspire or to awaken a passion in someone. In this sense, it conveys the idea of setting something into motion or bringing it to life, not through physical fire, but through a more abstract or emotional ignition. For instance, an inspiring speech could be described as being delivered "sytyttämiseksi yleisöä," or "for igniting the audience." The context in which the word is used will determine its precise meaning, whether literal or figurative.
