ennakoitavammiksi

Ennakoitavammiksi is a Finnish grammatical form used to express a transition into a state of greater predictability. It is the translative form built from the comparative ennakoitavampi, which in turn comes from the verb ennakoida meaning to anticipate. The form signals that something is becoming more predictable or is being made more predictable.

Morphologically, ennakoitavammaksi originates from ennakoitava (predictable). The comparative ennakoitavampi means “more predictable.” The translative suffix -maksi attaches to the stem to indicate a change into that state, yielding ennakoitavammaksi, i.e., “into becoming more predictable” or “to be made more predictable.” In practice, it often occurs with verbs that express making or becoming, such as tehdä or muuttua.

Usage tends to be found in formal or technical Finnish, including risk assessment, process design, software engineering, and policy analysis, where authors describe changes aimed at increasing predictability. Example: Järjestelmä on tehty ennakoitavammaksi. (The system has been made more predictable.) The form emphasizes a deliberate transition rather than a static attribute.

Notes and nuance: ennakoitavammaksi is specialized and may sound awkward outside technical writing. It is most natural when describing actions or plans designed to raise predictability, rather than merely stating that something is already predictable. Related forms include ennakoitava (predictable) and ennakoitavampi (more predictable).
