muunneltavaksi

Muunneltavaksi is a Finnish grammatical form used to indicate that something is intended to be changed into a different state, typically something that can be converted or configured. It is the translative form of the adjective muunneltava, meaning convertible or transformable, and it signals a change of state or a target condition.

Morphology and function: muunneltavaksi is formed by adding the translative suffix -ksi to muunneltava. The translative case in Finnish marks into-into or becoming states, so muunneltavaksi expresses “into becoming convertible” or “to be made convertible.” It is commonly used in contexts where a product, system, or component is designed or required to be adaptable.

Usage: The form is frequent in technical writing, product documentation, and instructions, especially when describing design goals or requirements. It often follows verbs such as suunnitella (to design), tehdä (to make), or muuttaa (to convert). For example: “Tämä laite on suunniteltu muunneltavaksi erilaisten käyttötarkoitusten mukaan.” (This device is designed to be adaptable to different use cases.) “Ohjelmisto on tehty muunneltavaksi tukemaan uusia moduuleja.” (The software is made to be adaptable to support new modules.)

Related terms: muunneltava (convertible/transformable) is the base adjective; muuntaa means to convert. The translative form muunneltavaksi contrasts with nominative forms when describing current states versus intended or possible future states.

In summary, muunneltavaksi denotes a design or requirement that something can be changed into a convertible or configurable state, chiefly in technical and design contexts.
