Analyytikoiksi

Analyytikoiksi is a translative plural form of the Finnish noun analyytikko, meaning an analyst. In Finnish grammar, the translative case expresses a change of state or a role, so analyytikoiksi denotes “into analysts” or “as analysts.” It is commonly used to describe the process of becoming analysts or being appointed to that role, especially with verbs such as tulla (to become) or valmistua (to graduate as).

Morphology and form: the base is analyytikko-; adding the translative suffix -iksi yields analyytikoiksi for the plural. The corresponding singular form is analyytikoksi. This pattern follows the general Finnish rule where the translative marks a state change or assignment, with the plural form indicating multiple people.

Usage and examples: analyytikoiksi appears in contexts like education, employment, and professional designation. Examples include: Hän valmistuu analyytikoksi. (He/she graduates as an analyst.) Meistä tulee analyytikoiksi finanssialalle. (We will become analysts in the financial sector.) The form is frequent in written Finnish, including job postings, curriculum descriptions, and formal reports, where the emphasis is on a group or collective role rather than a single individual.

Notes: analyytikoiksi is used with plural subjects or where the role is shared by several people. For singular subjects, the form would be analyytikoksi. The word itself reflects Finnish borrowing from the concept of “analyst” and demonstrates how the language expresses professional roles through the translative case.
