Lausekkeiksi

Lausekkeiksi is the translative plural form of the Finnish noun lauseke, meaning “into expressions.” It is used to describe conversion or transformation into multiple expressions. In Finnish texts, lausekkeiksi typically appears in technical or instructional contexts, where a set or collection of items is to be expressed as expressions rather than in another form. The singular counterpart is lausekkeeksi (into an expression).

A lauseke refers to an expression, especially in mathematics, logic, and programming. It denotes a syntactic unit that can be evaluated to produce a value or result. Examples of lausekkeet include 3 + 4, sin(x), or x * y + 1. Depending on context, lausekkeet can be numeric, boolean, or string-valued, and they may be used within larger statements or computations in various disciplines.

Usage notes: lausekkeiksi is common in formal instructions, specifications, or algorithm descriptions that involve transforming data or formulas into expressions. It is less common in everyday language, where more general terms such as “ilmaisu” or “fraasi” might be used.

Morphology: the base form is lauseke; singular translative is lausekkeeksi; plural nominative is lausekkeet; plural translative is lausekkeiksi. The form lausekkeiksi answers the question “mihin?” in the sense of “into expressions,” and is contrasted with other case forms such as lausekkeiden (genitive plural) or lausekkeet (nominative plural).
