Why is perehdyttämisen in the genitive case?
It acts as the object of the verbal noun ulkoistamiseen. In Finnish, the object of a -minen noun is typically put into the genitive case, so perehdyttämisen ulkoistamiseen literally translates to 'to the outsourcing of the onboarding'.
Could I use the basic infinitive and say suostutko ulkoistaa?
No, the verb suostua cannot be followed by a standard first infinitive. Because its rection specifically demands the illative case, any verb attached to it must be nominalized (turned into a noun) using -minen so that it can take the illative ending.
What is the base verb for perehdyttämisen, and how does its meaning change?
