Inversiooniks

Inversiooniks is the translative form of the Estonian noun inversioon, meaning inversion. The translative case, marked by the suffix -ks, signals a change of state, transformation, or the function of something as a particular thing. Therefore inversiooniks literally conveys “into an inversion” or “as an inversion.”

In Estonian grammar, translative forms are used to describe what something becomes or is used as in a given context. The word inversiooniks appears predominantly in linguistic or mathematical discussions where a transformation or role as an inversion is being described. It is formed from the base noun inversioon with the translative suffix, and it functions as a nominal form within sentences.

Usage of inversiooniks is primarily analytical. It can appear in sentences that state that something is transformed into an inversion or used as an inversion. Examples include phrases like lause teisendati inversiooniks (the sentence was transformed into an inversion) or meetodina kasutakse inversiooniks (used as an inversion as a method). As a grammatical form, it does not denote a separate independent concept on its own; rather, it marks a state or function in relation to inversioon.
