Muoviksi

Muoviksi is a Finnish translative form of the noun muovi, meaning plastic. The translative suffix -ksi expresses a change of state or a designation, so muoviksi roughly means "into plastic" or "as plastic." In practice, muoviksi is used when describing that something becomes plastic or is classified as plastic. The form is common in technical writing, manufacturing contexts, and everyday language when talking about materials or transformations.

Muovi is a loanword that entered Finnish in the 20th century, reflecting the widespread use of synthetic polymers. The suffix -ksi is used to express a change of state or designation, and muoviksi is one of several such forms that attach to nouns to indicate becoming or labeling.

Examples include: "Tuote muutettiin muoviksi." (The product was changed into plastic.) and "Se luokitellaan muoviksi." (It is classified as plastic.) The word also appears in discussions of recycling, product design, and material science when specifying a material category or packaging material.
