Liikkumiseksi

Liikkumiseksi is a translative form in Finnish derived from the noun liikkuminen, meaning movement or mobility. The suffix -ksi signals a change of state or role, so liikkumiseksi expresses “into a state of movement” or “for movement.” It is formed from the root related to the verb liikkua (to move) and is typically used in formal or technical language.

In practice, liikkumiseksi is used to describe a transformation, purpose, or function related to mobility. It commonly appears in technical texts, planning discussions, ergonomic or biomechanical descriptions, and device or system specifications where movement or mobility is a central attribute. The word is less common in everyday speech, where simpler phrases such as liikkua or liikkuminen are often preferred.

Examples of use are typically found in contexts such as designing a device or describing a system’s intended state: for instance, a product might be described as suunniteltu liikkumiseksi, meaning designed to enable or achieve mobility. The translative form thus helps express that something is meant to become or function as movement, rather than simply existing as movement.

Etymology and grammar notes: liikkumiseksi is the singular translative form of liikkuminen. It should be distinguished from other forms such as liikkuminen (noun meaning movement) and from essive or other cases that describe ongoing states. In Finnish grammar, the translative marks a change of state or the aim of a design or plan, making liikkumiseksi a niche but useful term in technical Finnish related to mobility.
