liukeneviksi

Liukeneviksi is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the adjective liukeneva, meaning soluble or dissolving. It functions to express a change of state toward solubility and is formed by adding the suffix -iksi to the stem, yielding liukeneviksi in plural contexts. The form is used when describing substances or formulations that are becoming soluble under certain conditions.

Linguistically, liukeneviksi belongs to the family of participial forms that convey process or outcome. It commonly appears with verbs that express change, such as muuttua (to become) or valmistua (to be produced as), to indicate transition into a soluble state. For example: aineet muuttuvat liukeneviksi — “the substances become soluble.” The singular counterpart is liukeneva, which describes a soluble property rather than the process of becoming.

In practical use, liukeneviksi is most often found in technical and scientific writing, including chemistry, pharmacology, and environmental science, where solubility is a relevant parameter. In everyday language, speakers more frequently use liukeneva or related noun forms such as liukeneminen to convey solubility or the act of dissolving.
