Poluiksi

Poluiksi is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the noun polku, which means path or trail. It is the translative plural form of polku, used to express change of state or designation, roughly translating to "into trails" or "as trails" when referring to multiple paths.

In Finnish, the translative case marked by the suffix -ksi indicates a transformation or a classification. Therefore poluiksi is used when describing that several paths become trails or are designated as trails. The corresponding singular form is poluksi (into a path or into a trail). The translative often appears in contexts such as geographical descriptions, planning documents, and descriptive writing about landscapes or routes.

Usage of poluiksi can be seen in sentences like: Polut muuttuvat poluiksi. Reitit ovat merkitty poluiksi. These illustrate the sense of transition and designation: that paths are evolving into trails, or that routes have been marked as trails. The form is common in natural-area planning, hiking guides, and environmental reports, where precise terminology for different types of pathways is important.

Etymology and related forms: poluiksi is built from polku plus the translative suffix -ksi, with plural agreement. Related forms include poluksi (singular translative) and other nouns that use -ksi to mark transformation or designation. As a general feature of Finnish, the translative helps convey how something changes state or is labeled within a given context.
