komplikaatioksi

komplikaatioksi is the translative form of the Finnish noun komplikaatio, meaning a complication. It is used to describe something that has developed into a complication or to indicate that a situation has taken on the status of a complication. While common in medical language, the term can appear in general discussions of outcomes where a problem worsens or adds unforeseen difficulties.

Etymology and grammar: komplikaatio is a loanword in Finnish, deriving from earlier European languages with the same root (for example Swedish komplikation or Latin complicatio). The translative suffix -ksi marks a change of state or transformation, so komplikaatioksi is used with verbs of becoming or turning into something, such as tulla komplikaatioksi, kehittyä komplikaatioksi, or muodostua komplikaatioksi. The singular form used in typical sentences is komplikaatioksi; plural uses komplikaatioiksi.

Usage: In medical contexts, komplikaatioksi describes a condition or event that has emerged as a complication of treatment, illness, or surgery. Example: Leikkauksen jälkeen infektio kehittyi komplikaatioksi. Another example: Taudin kulku on muuttunut komplikaatioksi. Beyond medicine, the term can appear whenever a factor or outcome is framed as a complication of a larger process, though it remains most common in clinical writing.

Related forms: The base noun is komplikaatio; the plural translative form is komplikaatioiksi. Common verb collocations include tulla komplikaatioksi, kehittyä komplikaatioksi, and muodostua komplikaatioksi.
