Solmituksi

Solmituksi is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb solmia, which means to form, conclude, or enter into an agreement. It is the translative form (-ksi) of the past passive participle solmittu, and it expresses a change into the state of having been concluded or contracted. In Finnish, the translative case marks becoming something, similar to phrases like becoming a leader (johtajaksi). Therefore solmituksi indicates that something has been made into a concluded agreement or status.

Usage and context: Solmituksi occurs mainly in formal, administrative, or legal language. It can describe acts, documents, or statuses that are treated as having been concluded. In everyday speech, speakers tend to use solmittu or rephrase the sentence rather than the translative form. The word is not common outside specialized texts, but it is part of standard Finnish grammar and vocabulary.

Morphology: The form is built from solmittu by adding the translative suffix -ksi, yielding solmituksi. It functions as a participial form that can appear in predicative or attributive positions in formal prose.

Etymology: Formed from the stem solmia with the past passive participle suffix -ttu, then modified with the translative -ksi.
