tehäkseen

Tehäkseen is a Finnish word that functions as a subordinate conjunction, typically translated into English as "in order to," "so that," or "to." It is derived from the verb "tehdä," meaning "to do" or "to make." The suffix "-kseen" indicates a purposeful action or intention.

This grammatical construction is used to express the purpose or aim of an action. For example, "Hän opiskelee ahkerasti tehäkseen tulevaisuudessa hyvän uran" translates to "He studies diligently in order to have a good career in the future." The clause introduced by tehäkseen explains why the main action (studying diligently) is being performed.

It is employed in both spoken and written Finnish and is a fundamental element for constructing complex sentences that convey purpose. Its usage is consistent and follows established grammatical rules within the Finnish language.
