Binääreiksi

Binääreiksi is a Finnish grammatical form used to express transformation or conversion into binary form. It is the translative plural form of the noun binääri, and is commonly used in technical and mathematical contexts to indicate becoming or writing something as binary numbers. In practice, binääreiksi appears in sentences describing the result of converting data or values into binary representation.

The form is most often encountered in computing, digital electronics, and education, where numbers or data are described as being written or stored in binary. For example, a sentence might say that a number is converted into binary: luku muutetaan binääreiksi. It can also appear in passive or descriptive phrasing, such as ohjelma tuottaa tulokset binääreiksi, meaning the program outputs results in binary form. The singular counterpart is binääreksi (to become a binary form), while binääreiksi refers to multiple binaries or the general process of converting to binary.

Linguistically, binääreiksi is formed from binääri plus the translative plural suffix -iksi. The root binääri itself relates to the binary numeral system, and related terms in Finnish include binäärinen (binary, adjective), binäärijärjestelmä (binary numeral system), and bitti (bit). Binääreiksi is primarily a technical term used in documentation, tutorials, and scholarly writing where precise description of binary representations is required.
