Harmonisoiduksi

Harmonisoiduksi is a Finnish predicative participle form derived from the verb harmonisoida, meaning to harmonize or standardize. It denotes a state that has been subjected to harmonization, or the result of harmonization, depending on the construction. In formal language, it is used to describe laws, regulations, or standards that have been aligned with others.

Etymology and form: The word combines the stem harmoniso- with the suffix -duksi, a suffix forming a resultative passive participle. In practice, harmonisoiduksi appears in clauses with auxiliary verbs such as tehdä (to make) or tulla (to become) to express the state or process of becoming harmonized.

Usage: Common in legal, regulatory, or standards contexts, for example in EU standardization, where national rules are harmonized with EU directives. It is more specialized than the common past passive participle harmonisoitu and is typically found in formal or bureaucratic prose.

Examples:

- Tavoitteena on tehdä lainsäädäntö harmonisoiduksi EU-standardeihin. (The aim is to make the legislation harmonized with EU standards.)

- Säädökset ovat harmonisoituneet kansallisen käytännön kanssa. (The regulations have become harmonized with national practice.)
