laskuiksi

Laskuiksi is a Finnish word that functions as the translative form of the noun lasku, which can mean either a bill or an invoice in commerce, or a calculation or estimate in mathematics and accounting. The translative case suffix -ksi expresses a change of state or transformation, roughly translating to "into" or "as" in English. Therefore laskuiksi literally means "into invoices" or "as invoices" and is used when something is being turned into invoices or classified as invoices, rather than as a common everyday noun.

In practice, occurrences of laskuiksi are specialized and most often appear in accounting workflows, data processing, or technical documentation that describe the conversion or grouping of items into invoice records. For example, a process might be described as transforming order rows into invoices, which could be expressed with a form such as tilausrivien muuntaminen laskuiksi (rows converted into invoices). Because Finnish is highly dependent on context and case, laskuiksi is sensitive to the surrounding verbs and nouns and can sound formal or technical outside professional settings.

Usage notes include recognizing that laskuiksi is not a freely used everyday noun but a grammatical form used to indicate a change of state toward invoices. It is less common when referring simply to invoices as objects without a transformation aspect. See also: lasku, translatiivinen case, laskutus.
