langattomiksi

Langattomiksi is a Finnish grammatical form, the translative plural of the adjective langaton, meaning wireless or cordless. It is used to express a change of state or identity, indicating that something becomes wireless. The form is typically found with plural subjects in predicative constructions, often with verbs such as muuttua (to become) or tulla (to become).

Grammar and usage notes: The translative case suffix -ksi marks a transformation, and the plural variant -iksi corresponds to plural referents. Therefore langattomiksi expresses “to become wireless” for multiple items. The corresponding singular form is langattomaksi, used with a singular subject, while langaton serves as the base adjective. In everyday text, one may also say langattomat laitteet to refer to “wireless devices” as a noun phrase rather than using the translative form.

Examples: Laitteet muuttuivat langattomiksi. The devices became wireless. Tietokoneet muuttuvat langattomiksi, kun ne liitetään uuteen verkkoon. The computers are becoming wireless once connected to the new network. These constructions illustrate how the form functions in predication to describe a transition to a wireless state.

Context and relation: Langattomiksi is a morphological form rather than a standalone word with a meaning beyond its inflection. It is most common in written or formal Finnish describing technological changes or state changes. For everyday reference to wireless technology, speakers frequently use the noun phrase langattomat laitteet or the adjective langaton in attributive position.
