Loppusaldoiksi

Loppusaldoiksi is a Finnish linguistic term formed from loppusaldo, meaning final balance, with the translative suffix -ksi. It expresses that something is to be treated as or recorded as the final balance, typically at the end of an accounting period.

Grammatical note: -ksi is the translative suffix in Finnish, used to indicate a change of state or a role, roughly translating to "as" or "into" in English. The form loppusaldoiksi is used when describing how numbers should be reported or categorized as the final balance rather than as an intermediate figure. This construction is common in accounting, financial reporting, and related instructional material.

Usage: Loppusaldoiksi appears in formal financial texts, balance sheets, and software or process instructions that deal with accounting figures. It is used in sentences that describe transforming or recording a figure as the final balance. For example, one might encounter statements such as: Tilinpäätöksessä erät on kirjattu loppusaldoiksi, or Summa muutetaan loppusaldoiksi tilikauden päättyessä.

Etymology and relation: The term combines loppusaldo (final balance) with the translative suffix -ksi. It is closely related to the concept of loppusaldo and to tilinpäätös (financial statements), where the final balance is a key figure. The form is mostly restricted to formal contexts and technical writing within accounting and finance.
