Valmiudeksi

Valmiudeksi is the translative form of the Finnish noun valmius, meaning readiness or preparedness. In Finnish grammar the translative case marks a change of state or the result of a process, so valmiudeksi literally means "into readiness" or "to become ready."

Grammatically, valmiudeksi is used with verbs that describe becoming or bringing something into a certain state. Common constructions include muuttua valmiudeksi ("to become ready"), asettaa valmiudeksi ("to bring into readiness"), and valmistaa valmiudeksi ("to prepare for readiness"). It functions without a preposition in such expressions and forms part of noun phrases describing a target state.

Valmiudeksi appears mainly in formal, technical, or administrative language, such as project planning, safety planning, quality assurance, and emergency preparedness discussions. It is less common in everyday conversation, where terms like valmius or valmiiksi are more typical.

Translations and related terms: the primary English equivalents are "into a state of readiness" or "to become ready." Related Finnish terms include valmius (readiness/preparedness) and valmiiksi (into a state of being ready in a more general sense). Etymologically, valmiudeksi is formed from valmius with the translative suffix -ksi, signaling the transition to a new state.
