Vaikuttiviksi

Vaikuttiviksi is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the adjective vaikuttava, meaning influential or impactful. It represents the translative plural form used to express a change of state into being influential or to denote something being regarded as influential. In singular form the corresponding translative would be vaikuttavaksi, while vaikuttiviksi marks a plural subject or object.

Morphology and formation are based on the stem vaikuttav-, with the translative suffix -ksi attaching to yield vaikuttavaksi in singular and the plural form vaikuttiviksi. The suffix signals a state change or designation, and the form is primarily encountered in formal, academic, or linguistic contexts rather than everyday speech.

Usage and examples: Vaikuttiviksi tends to appear in constructions describing becoming or being regarded as influential, often in discussions of roles, influence, or evaluation. A plausible example is: Hänet tulkittiin vaikuttaviksi johtajiksi, meaning “He was interpreted as becoming an influential leader.” The form is relatively rare in colloquial Finnish and is more common in descriptions of language, governance, or social influence where a plural subject or multiple entities are involved.
