Sopimukseksi

Sopimukseksi is the translative form of the Finnish noun sopimus, used to express becoming, designation, or classification as a contract. It denotes that something is turned into a contract or is treated as a contract in a given context.

The form is common in legal, business, and administrative language. It describes the transformation of an agreement, proposal, or document into a binding contract, or the designation of something as a contract. Examples include: Tarjous hyväksytään ja siitä tehdään sopimukseksi. Kun osapuolet allekirjoittavat, asiakirja muuttuu sopimukseksi. Sopimukseksi tuleminen edellyttää molempien osapuolten hyväksyntää.

Grammatically, sopimukseksi is the translative case, formed by adding -ksi to the stem sopimuks- (from sopimus). It is used with verbs that express change or designation, such as tehdä, tulla, and muuttua. For example: Tarjous tehtiin sopimukseksi. Tämä käyttö korostaa, että jokin asiakirja tai ehdotus muuttuu lopulliseksi, sitovaksi sopimukseksi.

In usage, sopimukseksi can appear in both formal declarations and everyday language when describing a transition from proposal or draft to an enforceable contract. Its availability as a translative form enables precise expression of status changes and formal classifications within Finnish legal and administrative discourse.
