annetuksi

Annetuksi is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb antaa, meaning to give. It is the translative form of the past passive participle annettu and functions as an adjective-like form that denotes that something has been given, designated, or conferred as a particular status or role.

In practice, annetuksi is most commonly encountered in formal or legal language, where it marks the result of an action as a defined state. The construction typically involves combining the participle with the translative suffix -ksi, signaling conversion into a new state or function. Because of its formal tone, annetuksi is relatively rare in everyday language and may appear in statutes, official reports, regulatory texts, or bureaucratic phrasing.

Etymology and usage notes: annetuksi is formed from the past passive participle tied to the translative case, which indicates a change into a new state or designation. The form is distinct from the more standard annettu, which simply means "given," and from annettuna, which may appear in other grammatical contexts. Annetuksi tends to appear in contexts that require precise designation or qualification of a role, status, or designation resulting from an action.
