Valoisiksi

Valoisiksi is a Finnish grammatical form that denotes a change into a state described by the adjective valoinen, meaning bright, light-colored, or cheerful. It is the translative plural form, used with plural subjects to express becoming bright or more light in a physical or figurative sense.

In usage, valoisiksi appears with verbs of becoming, such as tulla or muuttua. The common pattern is subject + tuli/tulivat or muuttuivat + valoisiksi. For example, kaupungit tulivat valoisiksi auringon noustessa, meaning the cities became bright as the sun rose. Käytävät muuttuivat valoisiksi, indicating that the corridors or pathways became well lit. The form can describe physical lighting conditions (a room or street becoming bright) or a mood or atmosphere that grows brighter or more hopeful.

The singular counterpart is valoisaksi, used when the subject is singular, as in talo tuli valoisaksi. Valoisiksi therefore specifically marks plural subjects and plural-based changes of state, while valoisaksi handles singular cases.

The term is primarily a grammatical one and is common in descriptive or linguistic contexts, though it may also appear in literary descriptions to convey a transition to a lighter or more optimistic scene. As a word form, it illustrates the Finnish system of translative mood and plural agreement in adjective-based predicates.
