Yhteistyöksi

Yhteistyöksi is the translative form of the Finnish noun yhteistyö (cooperation). The translative case expresses change of state, role, or function, and in this word it means “into cooperation,” “as cooperation,” or “for the purpose of cooperation.” The form is commonly used in formal and administrative language when describing aims, arrangements, or outcomes that involve joint action.

Formation and function: Yhteistyöksi is created by adding the suffix -ksi to the stem yhteistyö, producing yhteistyöksi. The translative form signals a destination state or role, often in sentences that designate a goal, a form of collaboration, or a plan to be undertaken as cooperation. It frequently appears in constructions with verbs such as asettaa tavoitteeksi, muodostaa, or laadita.

Usage and contexts: The word is typical in official communications, grant applications, contracts, and policy texts where a plan or arrangement is described as cooperation. Examples include: Tavoitteeksi asetettiin yhteistyö useiden yritysten kanssa. Sopimus on laadittu yhteistyöksi kahden kunnan välille. Projekti on suunnattu yhteistyöksi alueen toimijoiden kanssa.

Notes: Yhteistyöksi is used to express that something is intended to function as cooperation or to be adopted as a cooperative form. It is most common in formal language and legal or administrative contexts, rather than everyday speech.
