kuiduksi

Kuiduksi is a Finnish translative form of the noun kuitu, meaning fiber. In Finnish grammar, the translative case is marked by the suffix -ksi and expresses a change of state or designation, roughly translating to “into fiber” or “as a fiber.” Therefore, kuiduksi is used when describing something that becomes or is treated as a fiber in a process or specification.

In practical use, kuiduksi often appears in technical and industrial contexts. For example, in materials science or textiles, a sentence such as muovi voidaan muuntaa kuiduksi means that plastic can be converted into fiber. The form can also be used to designate a material’s role as a fiber component or product in a manufacturing sequence.

Linguistically, kuiduksi is not a separate lexical item but a grammatical inflection of kuitu. It follows the general patterns of the translative case, attaching the suffix -ksi to the stem kuitu and applying standard Finnish phonological adjustments where needed.

Context and related terms: kuitu refers to fiber in a broad sense, including natural fibers, synthetic fibers, and specialty fibers like valokuitu (optical fiber). The translative form kuiduksi is one of several cases used to describe material transformations and designations in Finnish technical vocabulary.
