Questions & Answers about Suostutko perehdyttämisen ulkoistamiseen?
Why is ulkoistamiseen in the illative (-miseen) form?
The verb suostua (to agree or consent to) requires the illative case. When you agree to an activity, you must turn the action into a -minen noun (the fourth infinitive) and put it in the illative, resulting in ulkoistamiseen (to outsourcing).
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?
The base verb is perehdyttää (to familiarize someone / to onboard). This is the causative form of perehtyä (to familiarize oneself). Turning it into a -minen noun makes it perehdyttäminen (the act of onboarding).
