ohjaaviksi

ohjaaviksi is a Finnish grammatical form used to express change into the state or role described by the present active participle ohjaava (guiding). It is a translative plural suffix attached to the participle stem, forming the meaning "into guiding" or "as guiding" for a plural subject. The corresponding singular form is ohjaavaksi.

In usage, ohjaaviksi appears mainly in formal or descriptive grammar, or in sentences describing transformation or role assignment. It often occurs with verbs that mark change of state, such as tulla or muuttua: for example, ryhmä muuttui ohjaaviksi, meaning "the group became guides." In other contexts it can form part of noun phrases describing roles or functions, such as ohjaaviksi tehtävissä (in guiding duties). The form is not common in everyday colloquial Finnish, but it is a standard inflection pattern for participles used as adjectives in the translative plural.
