Vektoreiksi

Vektoreiksi is a Finnish term formed as the translative case of vektori, meaning “into vectors” or “as vectors.” It appears in linguistic contexts to express transformation into the state of being vectors, and in technical discussions it is often used to describe converting data into vector form or representing quantities as vectors.

Finnish grammar note: vektori means a mathematical vector. The translative suffix -ksi marks change of state; the plural form vektoreiksi indicates conversion to multiple vectors. Example: “Muunnettiin kuvat vektoreiksi” (“The images were converted into vectors”).

In mathematics and computer science, the phrase represented by vektoreiksi refers to encoding information as a vector—an ordered list of numbers. This enables linear algebra operations, similarity measures, and input to algorithms. Vectorization is common in statistics, natural language processing, and image processing; for instance, text documents can be vectorized to word-count or embedding vectors, and images to pixel-value vectors.

Related concepts include vector representation, embedding, and feature extraction. The term emphasizes the result (vectors) rather than the process, and the form may appear in Finnish texts that describe data conversion, representation, or mathematical transformations.
