koulutukseksi

Koulutukseksi is a Finnish translative form derived from the noun koulutus, meaning education or training. The word is used to indicate designation, purpose, or a change of state in which something is treated as training or used for training purposes. In Finnish, the translative suffix -ksi expresses that sense of becoming or serving as something, often in formal or institutional language.

Morphology and usage: The base word koulutus takes the translative suffix -ksi to form koulutukseksi. This form is common in official texts, program descriptions, and documents that specify how materials, events, or activities should be used or understood. It contrasts with other case forms such as essive or nominative, which serve different grammatical functions. Koulutukseksi can denote both the intended role of something (as training) and its practical use (for training).

Context and nuance: The term is typically found in administrative, educational, or programmatic contexts rather than in everyday conversation. It signals a formal designation and is often paired with verbs like “olla tarkoitettu” (to be intended) or “käyttää” (to use), reinforcing the sense of purpose or function.

Examples:

- Se on tarkoitettu koulutukseksi. (It is intended as training.)

- Koulutukseksi tarkoitetut materiaalit löytyvät verkkosivuilta. (Training-designated materials are available on the website.)
