Momentteiksi

Momentteiksi is a Finnish term formed from momentti (moment) plus the translative suffix -ksi, used in the plural as momentteiksi to mean "into moments" or "as moments." It is not a standard lexical item in major Finnish dictionaries and has limited attestation; when used, it is typically in analytical or stylistic discussions rather than as everyday vocabulary.

Etymology: from momentti + translative -ksi, indicating a change of state: into moments.

Usage: In linguistic or media-theory contexts, momentteiksi may describe the process of fragmenting continuous experience into discrete moments, akin to converting a narrative into a sequence of pivotal moments. It can appear in discussions on time-granularity, event-capturing, or social media storytelling. Example sentence: "Elokuvan tarina voidaan tulkita momentteiksi sen sijaan, että se esittäisi jatkuvan ajan virtauksen." Translation: "The film's narrative can be interpreted as moments rather than as a continuous flow of time." However, such use is rare and context-dependent.

Variants: momentti (singular), momentteja (partitive plural), momentteiksi (translative plural). Relationship to momentti in statistics (moments) is acknowledged but not implied to be related semantically.
