oikeudenmukaisiksi

Oikeudenmukaisiksi is a Finnish grammatical form, the translative plural of the adjective oikeudenmukainen (fair, just). It expresses a change of state into something that is fair or just and is used with plural nouns in the translative case. In English, it can be rendered as “into fair ones” or, in the sense of becoming, “to become fair.”

In Finnish grammar, the translative suffix marks a change or transformation. The singular translative is oikeudenmukaiseksi, while the plural translative is oikeudenmukaisiksi. The form is used with verbs of becoming, such as tulla (to become) or muuttua (to change into). Common constructions include muuttua oikeudenmukaisiksi (to become fair) or tehdä oppilaista oikeudenmukaisiksi (to make the students into fair ones). For example: Ihmiset ovat muuttuneet oikeudenmukaisiksi, or: Koulutusohjelman tavoitteena on tehdä oppilaista oikeudenmukaisiksi.

Usage notes: Oikeudenmukaisiksi tends to appear in formal, political, or educational contexts, where discussing justice or fairness as a state people or groups attain. In everyday language, speakers more often use oikeudenmukaisesti (fairly) or the noun oikeudenmukaisuus (justice) to convey related ideas. As a grammatical form, oikeudenmukaisiksi illustrates how Finnish uses the translative case to express becoming into a plural target or role.

Related terms include oikeudenmukainen (fair/just) and oikeudenmukaisuus (justice). The form also serves as an example of Finnish translative plural usage in descriptive writing about social change and policy goals.
