Systemaattiseksi

Systemaattiseksi is a Finnish grammatical form of the adjective systemaattinen, meaning systematic. It is the translative case form used to express a change into the state described by the adjective, roughly corresponding to “into a systematic state” in English. It commonly appears with verbs of becoming or with constructions that describe outcomes.

Formation and use: The form is created by adding the translative suffix -eksi to the stem of the adjective, yielding systemaattiseksi. It denotes change into a systematic condition and is used with singular subjects; the plural form is systemaattisiksi.

Examples illustrate typical usage: Prosessi on muutettu systemaattiseksi. Tutkimusaineisto on koottu systemaattiseksi. Tavoitteena on tehdä käytännöstä systemaattiseksi. These constructions show how the state described by systemaattinen is presented as the result of some transformation or deliberate action.

Grammar context: In Finnish, the translative expresses the result of a transformation or becoming. Systemaattiseksi is particularly common in academic, quality management, and methodological descriptions where states or processes are described as made systematic.

Etymology and related forms: The word derives from systemaattinen (systematic) with the translative suffix -eksi; related forms include systemaattisesti (adverb, systematically) and systemaattinen (systematic). The translative form systemaattiseksi is distinct from the adverbial usage and from other case forms that describe different grammatical relations.
