Yksiarvoisiksi

Yksiarvoisiksi is a Finnish grammatical form used mainly in technical, mathematical, and logical contexts. It is the translative plural form of the adjective yksiarvoinen, which literally means “single-valued” or “having one value.” The term describes something that is regarded, designated, or transformed into a state in which each element or input has a single value.

In usage, yksiarvoiseksi or yksiarvoisiksi indicates a shift toward or an assignment of single-valuedness. The form yksiarvoisiksi is applied when the subject is plural or when describing a transformation that affects a group of items, such as treating several entities as having one value each. Because it is a technical term, hitta fying its appearance outside mathematical or theoretical prose is uncommon in everyday Finnish.

Grammatically, yksiarvoisiksi is the translative plural form derived from the base yksiarvoinen. The root yksiarvoinen comes from yhdestä arvosta meaning connected to a single value, and the translative suffix -iksi marks becoming or designation into that state. The construction contrasts with moniarvoinen, which denotes multiple values, and with singular forms such as yksiarvoiseksi used for singular subjects.
