Senttimetreiksi

Senttimetreiksi is a Finnish translative form of the noun senttimetri, meaning centimeters. It denotes the process or result of converting a measurement into centimeters and is used in contexts where values are reported or processed in cm. The translative case marker -ksi indicates becoming or transformation, and the form senttimetreiksi is used for expressing “into centimeters” (often in plural or general terms).

The centimeter (cm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to one hundredth of a meter. In practical terms, 1 meter equals 100 centimeters, and 1 centimeter equals 10 millimeters. When converting measurements from other units, values are typically expressed senttimetreiksi by multiplying to obtain the equivalent length in centimeters (for example, converting meters to centimeters multiplies by 100; kilometers to centimeters multiplies by 100,000).

In written Finnish, senttimetreiksi is commonly found in technical, scientific, and data-handling texts where dimensions are standardized or re-stated in centimeters. It is not a separate unit, but a grammatical form indicating the unit of measure after conversion. Usage examples include sentences like “Mitat muutettiin senttimetreiksi” (The measurements were converted to centimeters) and “Pituudet on ilmoitettu senttimetreiksi” (The lengths are reported in centimeters).
