Yhdistetyksi

Yhdistetyksi is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as a translative predicative complement derived from the past passive participle yhdistetty, meaning "combined" or "merged." The form is created by adding the translative suffix -ksi to yhdistetty, producing yhdistettyksi. It expresses a change of state into being merged or becoming a combined entity. The translative is commonly used with verbs of becoming, such as tulla or muuttua, and appears in formal or administrative language to describe a status resulting from a process.

The primary use of yhdistettyksi is to indicate that something has transitioned into a state of being merged or integrated. For example, in a business context, a corporate restructuring might be described as two units "tulevat yhdistetyiksi" or "muuttuvat yhdistettyksi suureksi konserniksi," meaning they become a single combined entity. In documentation or legal language, yhdistettyksi can appear in clauses that specify the outcome of a merger, consolidation, or data integration, emphasizing the resulting state rather than the process itself.

Usage notes: The translative form conveys change and the emergence of a new state, as opposed to a static attribute described by the nominative form yhdistetty. While yhdistettyksi is relatively common in formal Finnish, it is less typical in everyday conversation, where simpler predicates or infinitive constructions are often preferred.
