muuttumattomiksi

Muuttumattomiksi is a Finnish grammatical form that literally means “into unchangeables” and is used to describe a change of state into the condition of being unchangeable. It is the translative plural form of the adjective muuttumaton, which means unchanging or immutable. In Finnish, the translative case (marked by the suffix -ksi in its various forms) denotes a change of state and is commonly used with verbs of becoming, such as muuttua (to become). Therefore, muuttumattomiksi describes something that, as a result of a process, becomes unchangeable in the eyes of the speaker.

Morphology and use: The form verandert a plural subject and appears with verbs of becoming. The construction typically follows a clause that identifies a set of entities undergoing transformation, for example, ne muuttuvat muuttumattomiksi meaning “they become unchangeable.” Because it expresses a strong or formal sense of condition, muuttumattomiksi is more commonly found in philosophical, theological, or literary texts than in everyday speech. In ordinary language, speakers might opt for synonyms or rephrase to avoid the heavy translative construction.

Etymology: The word combines the root muuttua (to change) with the adjectival stem muuttumaton (unchanging) and the translative suffix -ksi, forming the plural translative: muuttumattomiksi.

Examples:

- Näkemykset muuttuvat muuttumattomiksi.

Notes: As a grammatical form, muuttumattomiksi illustrates how Finnish uses the translative to express a change of state, especially toward a stable, immutable condition. Its usage is primarily stylistic and domain-specific rather than a frequent feature of everyday Finnish.
