Luovuttajaksi

Luovuttajaksi is a Finnish linguistic form that means “to become a donor” or “as a donor.” It is derived from the noun luovuttaja, meaning donor, and uses the translative suffix -ksi to express a change of state or role. The phrase is commonly used when referring to someone adopting the status of a donor in contexts such as blood donation, organ donation, or other forms of giving.

Grammatically, -ksi marks the translative case in Finnish, which indicates a transformation or designation into a new role. For example, Hän haluaa tulla luovuttajaksi means “He/She wants to become a donor.” Another possible construction is Hän on jo luovuttajaksi, “He/She is already a donor,” depending on context and verb choice.

Usage and context: Luovuttajaksi is primarily encountered in health, charity, or civic campaigns that encourage people to register as donors or to adopt donation as a role. It appears in forms, campaigns, and public discussions about the decision to donate blood, organs, or other resources. The term emphasizes the active decision to participate in giving, rather than describing the donor in a static sense.

Related terms: luovuttaja (donor), luovuttaminen (the act of donating or handing over), luovuttaminen (the act of surrendering in broader contexts). The translative form luovuttajaksi is distinct from these related nouns and from the verb luovuttaa, which means to donate, hand over, or surrender in its base form.

Notes: The term is specific to Finnish and reflects typical Finnish grammar for expressing change of state or role with the suffix -ksi.
