Vakaammiksi

Vakaammiksi is a Finnish word that represents the plural translative form of the adjective vakaampi, meaning “more stable.” It is used to express a transition into a state that is more stable, typically in reference to multiple items or situations. In practice, vakaammiksi often appears with verbs of becoming, such as muuttua or tulla, or in predicative constructions with plural subjects.

Examples:

- Tilanteet ovat vakaammiksi muuttuneet. (The situations have become more stable.)

- Talouden näkymät ovat vakaammiksi kuin aiemmin. (The economic outlooks are more stable than before.)

- Sijoitusmarkkinat ovat vakaammiksi muuttuneet. (The investment markets have become more stable.)

Morphology and usage notes:

- Vakaammiksi is the plural translative form. The corresponding singular form is vakaammaksi (used with a singular subject, e.g., Tilanne on vakaammaksi muuttunut).

- The form is built from the stem vaka- with the comparative suffix -mpi to yield vakaampi (more stable), and then the translative suffix -ksi/-iksi attaches to express “into a more stable state.” In the plural, the translative ending becomes -iksi, giving vakaammiksi.

Context and tone:

- Vakaammiksi is common in formal writing, journalism, economics, and policy discussions when describing changes in stability of situations, economies, markets, or social conditions. It conveys a precise sense of increasing stability compared with a prior state.
