toimittamiseksi

Toimittamiseksi is a Finnish grammatical form used to express purpose, roughly translating to “for the purpose of delivering/submitting.” It is formed from the verb toimittaa (to deliver, to supply, to forward) and the suffix -miksi/-miksi- combined with -ksi, producing a phrase that indicates the intended outcome of an action. The form is most common in formal, bureaucratic, or procurement-related language.

In use, toimittamiseksi answers the question of purpose: what is this action being taken for? It often appears in official documents, contracts, and administrative text to specify that something is done for the sake of delivering, submitting, or provisioning. For example, asiakirjat on toimittamista varten, or asiakirjat toimittamiseksi on toimitettava (the documents must be submitted for the purpose of delivery/submission). The exact nuance depends on context and the main verb it accompanies.

Relation to related forms: toimittamiseksi is part of a family of purpose-marking forms in Finnish, such as selvittämiseksi (in order to clarify) and toimittaminen (the act of delivering). These forms attach to the stem of the verb or to the nominalized form to indicate intent.

Notes for readers: toimittamiseksi is more typical in written, formal Finnish than in everyday speech, where speakers may use simpler phrases like “for submitting” or “for delivery” or rephrase with a clause that expresses purpose more directly. It is commonly found in logistics, procurement, and regulatory contexts.
