hitsatuksi

Hitsatuksi is a Finnish linguistic term—the translative form of the passive past participle of the verb hitsata, meaning to weld. The base participle hitsattu denotes that something has been welded; adding the translative suffix -ksi yields hitsatuksi, signaling a change of state into a welded condition or a designation as something to become welded.

In practice, hitsatuksi is used in technical and manufacturing language to describe parts or components that have undergone welding or are intended to be welded as part of a fabrication process. The translative form appears in contexts where the outcome or target state of welding is being specified, such as in assembly plans or production documentation.

Usage notes: hitsattu refers to something that has already been welded, while hitsatuksi emphasizes the transformation into a welded state or the designation of that state in planning and instructions. The word is most commonly found in metalworking, construction, and engineering texts written in Finnish.
