infrastruktuuriksi

Infrastruktuuriksi is the translative form of the Finnish noun infrastruktuuri, meaning infrastructure. In Finnish grammar, the translative case expresses a change of state or designation, roughly translating to “into infrastructure” or “as infrastructure.” The term is used when something is being designated as infrastructure or transformed into it, often in policy, planning, or technical discourse.

Usage and scope: The form is common in discussions about networks, facilities, and systems that provide public services or support economic activity. It appears when planners or policymakers describe turning a project, service, or asset into infrastructure, or when stating that a given entity should function as infrastructure. Examples: “Hankkeen tarkoituksena on muuttaa olemassa oleva palvelukokonaisuus infrastruktuuriksi.” “Kaupungin dataverkko on suunniteltu infrastruktuuriksi.” “Tämän verkon on tarkoitus tulla infrastruktuuriksi.”

Notes: Infrastruktuuriksi captures the idea of designation or transformation within Finnish, and the translative suffix -ksi is one of several grammatical means to express change of state or categorization. It is more common in formal, policy, or planning language than in everyday speech. Related terms include infrastruktuuri (infrastructure) and other case forms that express state or role in Finnish grammar.
