lauseiksi

Lauseiksi is the translative plural form of the Finnish noun lause, meaning a sentence. In Finnish grammar, the translative case marks a change of state or transformation, so lauseiksi literally means into sentences or as sentences. It is used when describing that something is converted into sentences, or when something is presented as sentences within a text. In practice, lauseiksi appears in editing, writing, and linguistic descriptions, often with verbs such as muuttaa (to change), muodostaa (to form), or kirjoittaa (to write).

Grammatically, the singular form is lauseeksi; the plural translative is lauseiksi. The form is used to express a transformation affecting more than one sentence, for example when a text is reshaped or segmented into sentences.

Common usage examples include contexts such as editing or language processing. For instance, Tekstin muuttaminen lauseiksi describes the process of turning text into sentences, and Teksti voidaan muuttaa lauseiksi means “the text can be changed into sentences.” The construction is frequent in instructional or descriptive writing about text structure.
