käynnistyväksi

Käynnistyväksi is a Finnish translative form derived from the verb käynnistyä, meaning to start up or become operational. The form combines the present active participle käynnistyvä with the translative suffix -ksi to express a change of state into something that starts up or becomes operational.

Morphology and usage notes: Käynnistyväksi is formed from the participle stem and the translative case, signaling a target state or outcome. It is typically used in formal, technical, or planning language to describe what a system, device, or process should become. It denotes not the act of starting, but the result or aim of becoming capable of starting.

Examples: A common usage is in planning or requirement statements. For instance: Tavoitteena on tehdä laite käynnistyväksi maaliskuun loppuun mennessä, meaning "The goal is to make the device operational by the end of March." Another example could be: Hankkeessa pyritään ohjaamaan järjestelmä käynnistyväksi automaattisesti, meaning "The project aims to make the system start up automatically." In everyday speech, this form is less common; speakers more often use käynnistyy or käynnistynyt, depending on tense and aspect.

Relation to other forms: Käynnistyväksi is related to käynnistyä (to start up), käynnistys (start-up), and käynnistymisellä (with the noun forms for related ideas). It belongs to a broader pattern in Finnish where the translative -ksi marks a change into a new state, especially in technical or formal descriptions.
