Immuneiksi

Immuneiksi is a Finnish term that denotes the translative form of an adjective meaning “immune,” used to express a change of state into immunity. It appears in discussions about acquiring immunity and is formed from the root immun- (immune) with the translative suffix -ksi, signaling a shift to a new condition.

In Finnish grammar, the translative case is used to indicate becoming or turning into something. Therefore, phrases such as tulla immuniseksi describe the process of becoming immune. The term is most commonly encountered in medical or scientific Finnish, where the concept of gaining immunity is discussed, whether after vaccination or through natural infection.

Usage and examples:

- Rokotteen jälkeen hän tuli immuniseksi. (After vaccination, he became immune.)

- Immuunijärjestelmän aktivoituminen voi tehdä yksilöstä immuniseksi. (Activation of the immune system can render an individual immune.)

Notes:

- Immuneiksi, when capitalized, would typically function as a heading, title, or proper noun rather than a standard lexical item within running text.

- The more general English equivalents are “to become immune” or “to gain immunity,” and in Finnish, related terms include immunointi (immunization) and immunologia (immunology).
