analyysipaikaksi

Analyysipaikaksi is a Finnish term used to denote that something is intended to function as a place for analysis. It is formed by combining analyysi (analysis) and paikka (place) with the translative suffix -ksi, which marks a role or function ("as"). The expression appears in academic and technical Finnish when specifying where data is collected, where analyses occur, or what place serves as the analytical site in a study or project.

Formation and usage notes: The base form is analyysipaikka; adding -ksi yields analyysipaikaksi to express "as an analysis site." It is commonly used in instructions, planning documents, and methodological descriptions. It can be combined with verbs like määrätä ("to designate") or määritellään ("is defined as"). Esimerkkejä: "Tutkimuksessa laboratorio määritellään analyysipaikaksi." "Tietojen keruu tapahtuu analyysipaikaksi määritetyssä tilassa."

Relation to other forms: It is one of several translative forms that turn a noun into a role or function, such as tuotantopaikaksi ("as a production site"). The word is mostly found in Finnish texts concerned with research design, data collection, lab planning, or data analysis workflows. The term remains relatively specialized and is primarily used in formal or technical writing rather than everyday language.
