Kohdiksi

Kohdiksi is not a standard entry in Finnish dictionaries and is not widely recognized as a separate term. In linguistic discussions it may be treated as a hypothetical or nonstandard form that could be constructed from the root tied to targeting or designation, with the suffix -ksi indicating a translative or role designation in Finnish grammar. However, the more common and attested form for “into targets” or “as targets” is kohteiksi, derived from the noun kohde (target).

Etymology and form

- The suffix -ksi in Finnish is used to express becoming or designation in translative constructions. In everyday usage, the expected translative plural of kohde would be kohteiksi. The form kohdiksi lacks standard acceptance and is typically discussed as a nonstandard or illustrative example rather than a normative word.

Usage and context

- Because kohdiksi is not part of standard Finnish, it appears mainly in teaching discussions, typographical examples, or creative writing as a way to illustrate why the standard form kohteiksi is preferred.

- When encountered, its interpretation generally hinges on it being a hypothetical or deliberate deviation rather than a recognized part of the language.
