järjestelyksi

Järjestelyksi is the translative form of the Finnish noun järjestely, which means an arrangement, plan, or organization. In Finnish, the translative case expresses a change into a state or designation as, and is formed by adding the suffix -ksi to the word stem. Therefore, järjestelyksi literally means “into an arrangement” or “as an arrangement.” It is used to describe something that is being turned into or regarded as an arrangement rather than describing the arrangement itself in the nominative.

Usage and examples: The form is common with verbs of change or designation, such as tulla “to become,” muuttaa “to transform,” or tehdä “to make.” Example sentences: "Tämä muutos tulee järjestelyksi." (This change becomes an arrangement.) "Teemme tämän suunnitelman järjestelyksi." (We will make this plan an arrangement / treat this plan as an arrangement.)

In practice, järjestelyksi is often found in formal, administrative, or planning contexts where a proposal or change is being reclassified as an arrangement or organizational step. Notes: It is a grammatical form, not a separate lexical item; its meaning depends on context and the accompanying verb.
