tyhjentääkseen

"tyhjentääkseen" is a Finnish word. It is the third infinitive form of the verb "tyhjentää". The verb "tyhjentää" means to empty, to clear out, or to drain. The third infinitive in Finnish is used to express purpose or intention, often translated into English as "in order to empty" or "to empty".

The structure of the word "tyhjentääkseen" can be broken down. "Tyhjentää" is the base verb. The "-kseen" ending is the characteristic suffix for the third infinitive form when it refers to the subject performing the action. Therefore, "tyhjentääkseen" literally translates to "for itself to empty" or "in order for it to empty". It is used in a sentence to explain the reason or purpose behind another action.

For example, in a sentence like "Hän kaatoi veden pois astiasta tyhjentääkseen sen" (He poured the water out of the container in order to empty it), "tyhjentääkseen" clearly indicates the purpose of pouring the water. The subject of the main clause (Hän - He) is also the implied subject of the infinitive clause. Another example could be "Hän siivosi kaapin tyhjentääkseen sen uusille tavaroille" (She cleaned out the cupboard in order to empty it for new items). The word is a grammatical construction used to link an action to its intended outcome of emptiness or clearing.
