jauheiksi

Jauheiksi is the translative plural form of the Finnish noun jauhe, meaning powder. It is used to express a change of state or transformation into powder form, specifically referring to multiple powders.

In Finnish, the translative case indicates becoming or turning into something. The singular form is jauheeksi (into powder), while the plural form is jauheiksi (into powders). The construction is commonly used in contexts where substances are processed or ground into powder rather than remaining as a solid lump.

The word appears in scientific, culinary, and industrial language, among others. It can describe processes such as grinding, milling, or pulverizing substances to create powder forms, whether for mixing, packaging, or analysis. The concept also arises in pharmacology and chemistry when discussing powdered reagents or formulations.

Examples:

- Aineet murskattiin jauheiksi ennen sekoitusta. (The substances were ground into powders before mixing.)

- Kahvi jauhettiin jauheiksi valmistettavaksi juomaa varten. (The coffee was ground into powders to prepare the beverage.)

- Kasvin lehtiä kuivattiin ja jauhettiin jauheiksi säilytettäväksi pitkään. (The plant leaves were dried and ground into powders for long-term storage.)
