Hallinnoksi

Hallinnoksi is a Finnish translative form of the noun hallinto, meaning administration or governance. It is created by adding the translative suffix -ksi to the base, yielding hallinnoksi. The translative case expresses change of state or designation into a role or function, roughly translating to “into administration” or “as administration” in English. Hallinnoksi is primarily a grammatical tool used in formal or official language, rather than a standalone concept.

Usage and context: In Finnish legal and bureaucratic texts, hallinnoksi is used to describe that something has been designated as, or has become, an administration or administrative function. For example, a body may be established hallinnoksi to handle certain tasks, or a responsibility may be moved hallinnoksi from one authority to another. The phrase commonly follows verbs that indicate change or designation, such as muuttui hallinnoksi or perustettiin hallinnoksi.

Notes on grammar: Hallinnoksi is part of Finnish grammar and reflects how the language marks changes in status or role. It is related to other translative forms formed with -ksi/-kse and is distinct from the genitive, partitive, or inessive forms. While it appears mainly in official or technical texts, its use is understood in standard written Finnish.
