Esineeksi

Esineeksi is the translative form of the Finnish noun esine, meaning "object" or "artifact." It is used to express designation or a change of state, roughly corresponding to "as an object" or "as an exhibit" in English. The form indicates how something is viewed, used, or classified in a given context.

Morphology and usage: Esineeksi is formed by adding the translative suffix -eksi to the stem esine. The translative suffix denotes a shift into a new role or designation and is common with nouns to express "as" in English. The form is used with singular nouns; the plural form is esineiksi ("as objects" or "as artifacts").

Context and register: The translative esineeksi appears in formal and technical registers, including museum catalogs, archives, legal contexts, and academic writing, as well as in everyday speech when designating something as a particular kind of object or role. It is often used to express how something is being used, presented, or classified at a given moment.

Translations and related forms: English counterparts include "as an object," "as an exhibit," and "as a specimen." Esineeksi is related to other translative forms in Finnish and to the broader concept of designation or role assignment within the Finnish case system.
