Tarjotuksi

Tarjotuksi is a Finnish linguistic form derived from the verb tarjota, meaning “to offer.” It is a participial construction in which the verb’s meaning of offering is tied to the suffix -ksi to express “as [something]” or “to be offered as.” In practice, tarjotuksi functions as a predicative complement or a post-nominal descriptor indicating the role, status, or designation that is being offered or proposed.

In usage, tarjotuksi appears mainly in formal or administrative language. It is commonly found in contexts such as employment, education, contracts, and official statements where a proposal or arrangement is described in terms of what is being offered and in what capacity. The form can occur in coordination with auxiliary verbs or copular constructions (such as olla or tulla in Finnish) to express a status that has been offered or designated.

Grammatical notes distinguish tarjotuksi from related forms such as tarjottu (the past participle meaning “offered”). The -ksi suffix serves to mark a role or designation, similar to how other Finnish verbs combine with -ksi to yield “as” or “into” phrases. Because tarjotuksi is relatively specialized, it is more frequent in written and formal Finnish than in casual speech.
