Tukkeutuneeksi

Tukkeutuneeksi is a Finnish translative participle form of the intransitive verb tukkeutua, meaning to become clogged, blocked, or jammed. It functions to express a change of state, describing something that has become obstructed or congested. In practice, tukkeutuneeksi is used to characterize the resulting condition rather than the process that caused it.

Grammatically, tukkeutuneeksi carries the translative suffix -ksi, which marks a shift into a new state. It is typically found in predicative constructions with verbs such as tulla or muuttua to indicate that an object has turned into the clogged condition. The form has both singular and plural variants, for example putkisto tuli tukkeutuneeksi (the pipeline became clogged) and putkistot tulivat tukkeutuneiksi (the pipelines became clogged). The corresponding noun form is tukkeutuminen, referring to the process or state of clogging.

Common contexts for tukkeutuneeksi are technical and descriptive texts that address infrastructure, drainage, ventilation systems, or traffic networks when flows are impeded. It appears in journalism, manuals, and reports where a specific component or system has entered a clogged state as a consequence of a fault, blockage, or buildup.

Related terms include tukkeutuminen (the act or state of clogging), tukos (a blockage or choke point), and tukkeutua as the base verb. The word is used primarily in Finnish and is most common in formal or technical language describing obstructions.
