Havaituksi

Havaituksi is a Finnish non-finite participial form derived from the verb havaita, meaning to perceive or observe. It is a passive participial form that carries the translative mood, typically formed with the stem havaittu plus the translative suffix -ksi, yielding havaituksi. The function of this form is to express that something has been perceived or established as a certain state, role, or identity.

In use, havaituksi conveys a result of perception or evaluation rather than a direct action. It is common in formal, legal, or technical language where findings or classifications are reported. The form often occurs in predicative constructions that describe how a subject has been regarded or identified, frequently together with verbs of evaluation such as pitää or todeta, and with a noun or adjective in the translative case, for example havaituksi [joksikin] or havaituksi todetuksi. Because it is a specialized non-finite form, havaituksi is less frequent in everyday conversation, where simpler alternatives like havaittu or todettu are more common.

Morphologically, havaituksi is the translative singular form of the past passive participle. It does not behave as a finite verb; instead, it functions as a participial complement that can be combined with other elements to express a state attributed to the subject.
