Endnoteiksi

Endnoteiksi is a Finnish grammatical form used to indicate conversion into, or designation as, endnotes in academic or editorial contexts. It is created by adding the translative suffix -iksi to the English loanword endnote, yielding endnoteiksi. The translative expresses a change of state or role, so endnoteiksi can be understood as “into endnotes” or “as endnotes.”

In usage, the construction appears primarily in editing instructions or discussions of workflow. For example, muuntaa viitteet endnoteiksi means “convert the references into endnotes,” and merkitä jotkut huomautukset endnoteiksi can be read as “mark some notes as endnotes.” In Finnish publishing practice, the standard term for endnotes is loppiviite or loppuviitteet, and endnoteiksi tends to appear mainly in bilingual texts, explanations of processes, or contexts involving English-language guidelines or software workflows.

Relation to software terminology is practical: when Finnish texts discuss the citation-management program EndNote, the proper name is typically capitalized as EndNote, while endnoteiksi may be used in generic descriptions of formatting or conversion steps within a document. Endnoteiksi is thus not a separate publishing term in Finnish, but a morphological form of a loanword that signals a transformation into endnotes within appropriate linguistic contexts.

Examples can be found in editing guides and multilingual documents where authors describe converting or labeling references as endnotes, contrasting with native Finnish terms such as loppuviitteet.
