muotoiseksi

Muotoiseksi is a form used in Finnish grammar. It is the translative form of the adjective muotoinen, and it serves to express a change of state toward a form or shape.

Morphology and usage: muotoiseksi is formed by attaching the translative suffix to the stem of the adjective muotoinen, producing a word that can describe a transition to a new form. The translative system in Finnish includes several such endings to indicate becoming or taking on a specified property, and muotoiseksi is the version used with muotoinen in contexts where a transformation into a form is being stated.

Context and prominence: muotoiseksi tends to appear in descriptive, technical, or artistic language where precise reference to form, shape, or appearance is important. It is less common in everyday speech compared with more general expressions of change of state, but it is encountered in design, sculpture, biology, or rhetoric where specific form-related changes are discussed.
