objektiiviseksi

Objektiiviseksi is a Finnish grammatical form, specifically the translative case of the adjective objektiivinen, meaning "objective." In Finnish, the translative suffix -ksi indicates a change of state or becoming something new, so objektiiviseksi expresses "into objectivity" or "into an objective state." The form is used with verbs of becoming or making, such as tulla objektiiviseksi (to become objective) or tehdä objektiiviseksi (to make objective).

Morphology and usage notes: The base adjective is objektiivinen. To form the translative, the ending -ksi is added and the -nen form is dropped, yielding objektiiviseksi. This form follows standard Finnish translative patterns and can be used with different subjects and contexts to express a shift toward objectivity or an objective quality.

Examples: Common constructions include subject–verbal predicate with muutto or becoming, as in Tutkimus muuttui objektiiviseksi (The study became objective). Another example is Hän teki raportin objektiiviseksi (He made the report objective). The phrase highlights a move away from subjectivity toward factual, impartial framing, and it contrasts with the related adjective subjektiivinen (subjective).

Etymology and relation: Objektiivinen is a loanword from Latin objectivus via other European languages, integrated into Finnish with typical inflectional patterns. Objektiiviseksi is the corresponding translative form used to denote a change into an objective state. In writing and discourse, it often appears in discussions of methodology, evaluation, and reporting where impartiality is emphasized.
