Keskeytetyksi

Keskeytetyksi is a Finnish grammatical form used to express that something has become or has been designated as “interrupted.” It is the translative form of the past passive participle keskeytetty, built from the verb keskeyttää (to interrupt) or its intransitive counterpart keskeytyä (to be interrupted). In Finnish, the translative suffix -ksi marks a change of state or a designation, so keskeytetyksi conveys the sense of “to become interrupted” or “to be regarded as interrupted.”

Formation and use

The base form keskeytetty means “interrupted” as a state. By adding the translative -ksi, keskeytetyksi specifies a transition into that state. The form is most common in formal or written Finnish, especially in reporting, official statements, or legal/administrative texts. It often appears in predicative clauses with verbs such as tulla, todeta, or julistaa, for example to express that a situation has become interrupted or has been declared as such. It is less typical in everyday speech, where simpler forms like keskeytyi or keskeytetty are more common.
