funkciigi

Funkciigi is an Esperanto verb meaning to cause something to function, to activate, or to enable operation of a device, system, or process. It denotes bringing into working condition or starting a capability that was inactive. The word is formed from the root funkci- (“to function”) with the causative suffix -igi; the infinitive is funkciigi. Like other Esperanto verbs, funkciigi does not inflect for person or number; tense is indicated with -as (present), -is (past), -os (future).

Use of funkciigi covers technology, engineering, software, and organizational contexts where a feature or component is made operational. In practice, it often means turning on or enabling a function that was available but not active. For example, Mi funkciigas la aparaton, meaning “I activate the device.”

Etymology and related forms: funkciigi is derived from funkci- (“to function”) plus the causative suffix -igi. Related terms include funkciigo (the act of making something function), funkciigilo (a device that activates or enables), and aktivigi (to activate). In contrast to simply using a device, funkciigi emphasizes causing or enabling its functioning.

Notes: Esperanto verbs are regular and straightforward in tense formation, and funkciigi follows this pattern. The concept is widely used in technical and procedural documentation to describe the process of enabling features, services, or systems.
