Loogiliseks

Loogiliseks is a form of the Estonian adjective loogiline (logical) in the translative case. It is used to express a change of state, typically after verbs such as muutuma (to become), to indicate becoming logical or being rendered into a logical state. In this use, loogiliseks functions as a predicative complement describing the new state of the subject.

Grammatical notes: the form loogiliseks is the singular translative of loogiline. The translative case conveys transition or transformation, for example in phrases like muutuda loogiliseks, meaning “to become logical.” The corresponding adverb form is loogiliselt, which is used to describe how something is done (logically).

Usage and nuance: loogiliseks tends to appear in formal or evaluative contexts where a conclusion or assessment is framed as a change in state toward logic or logicality. It contrasts with loogiline (logical) as an adjective describing a static quality, and with loogiliselt as the manner of reasoning (logically).

Etymology and related terms: loogiliseks is derived from loogiline plus the translative suffix -ks. Related words include loogiline (logical), loogika (logic), and loogiliselt (logically), which cover the adjective, noun, and adverb forms in Estonian grammar.
