Vektoriksi

Vektoriksi is Finnish intransformation form of the noun vektori (vector). In Finnish grammar it is the translative case, which expresses a change of state or a result after a transformation. When used, vektoriksi indicates that something is becoming, or is converted to, a vector or vector form. The word is therefore not a separate concept on its own, but a grammatical form used to describe the outcome of a process.

In practice, vektoriksi appears in mathematics, physics, and computer science to describe turning or representing something as a vector. For example, a diagram, signal, or dataset can be described as being converted into a vector form: kuva muunnetaan vektoriksi (the image is converted into a vector). It is also common in phrases like muuntaa joksikin and muuntua vektoriksi, where the focus is on the result of the transformation rather than the process itself. Related terms include vektorointi (vectorization) and vektorisoida (to vectorize), which refer to the broader process of creating vector representations.

The term vektoriksi is closely tied to the noun vektori, itself borrowed from Latin vector. The translative form is a typical Finnish construction for denoting a state change or the end product of a conversion, and it is widely used across technical and scientific contexts.
