Kentiksi

Kentiksi is a Finnish grammatical form, not a standalone word. It is the translative plural of the noun kenttä, which means field. Kentiksi means “into fields” or “as fields” and is used to describe transformation, classification, or assignment of data or objects into fields within a system, database, or model. The corresponding singular form is kentäksi, meaning “as a field” or “into a field.”

Usage notes: Kentiksi appears mainly in technical or data-processing language. It is not commonly used as a general noun in everyday speech. The translative suffix -ksi signals a change of state or function, so kentiksi conveys becoming or being regarded as fields rather than simply indicating multiple physical fields.

Examples: Tietokantataulukon arvojen voidaan muuntaa kentiksi. This means that the values in a database table can be converted into fields. Taulukon sarakkeet voidaan määritellä kentiksi tietoja varten. In such contexts, kentiksi expresses the idea of mapping or converting data elements into database fields or form fields in an interface.

Context and relation: Kentiksi is related to kenttä (field) and to broader Finnish grammar that uses the translative case to express becoming, turning into, or functioning as something. In technical writing, kentiksi often appears in instructions, specifications, and data-model descriptions.
