Toksisiksi

Toksisiksi is a Finnish grammatical form of the adjective toksinen, meaning toxic or poisonous. It is the translative plural form used to express a change of state into a toxic condition for a plural subject. The form commonly appears in scientific, environmental, and regulatory language when describing processes or outcomes that render multiple substances toxic.

In Finnish grammar, the translative case (ending in -ksi) marks a change into a new state. Toksisiksi is the plural counterpart to the singular toksiseksi. It pairs with plural nouns, for example aineet (substances) or yhdisteet (compounds), in the predicate position to say that they have become toxic.

Examples:

- Aineet voivat muuttua toksisiksi reaktiossa. (Substances may become toxic in the reaction.)

- Tutkimuksessa epäpuhtaudet muuttuivat toksisiksi. (In the study, impurities became toxic.)

Notes:

- The singular counterpart is toksiseksi, as in aine muuttuu toksiseksi (a substance becomes toxic).

- Related forms include toksinen (toxic), toksiseksi (singular translative), and toksisiksi (plural translative). The noun form for the concept of toxicity is myrkyllisyys or toksisuus, depending on nuance and context.
