Suositummiksi

Suositummiksi is a Finnish translative form used with the comparative adjective suositumpi, meaning “more popular” or “more highly recommended.” The translative indicates a change of state, so suositummaksi describes the process or outcome of becoming more popular or more widely recommended.

Grammatical background: suositumpi is the comparative degree of the adjective suositittu and related to the noun suositus (recommendation). The stem suosit- combines with the translative suffix -ksi to form suositummaksi, which is then used with verbs of becoming, such as tulla or muuttua, or in constructions with possession or agency that cause the change. For example, tuote on tullut suositummaksi ("the product has become more popular/recommended"), or kampanja on tehnyt tuotteesta suositummaksi ("the campaign has made the product more popular").

Usage notes: suositummaksi is typically used to express a shift toward a higher level of popularity or recommendation, rather than a static description. It often appears in contexts involving change over time, comparisons, or causation by an action or campaign. The form is most natural with singular subjects referring to things like products, services, or ideas, and with verbs of becoming or making.

Related terms: suositus (recommendation), suosittelu (advocacy or recommendation, the act of recommending), suositumpi (the comparative form “more popular/recommended”). The phrase should not be confused with forms indicating mere current state without change.
