profiileiksi

Profiileiksi is a Finnish grammatical form meaning into profiles or as profiles. It is the translative plural form of the noun profiili (profile) and is used to express a change of state or designation, for example when something is transformed into profiles or described as profiles.

In Finnish, the translative case indicates becoming or turning into something. The singular form is profiiliksi and the plural form is profiileiksi. The base noun profiili has the plural profiilit, and the translative plural is formed by adding the translative ending to the appropriate stem, yielding profiileiksi in typical modern usage. The construction is common in technical, business, and data contexts as well as in everyday language when discussing changes in form or role.

Usage and context often involve data, identity, or personalization themes. For example, data may be converted into user profiles for analysis, or a set of attributes can be presented as profiles for comparison. In digital services, information about users can be compiled and displayed as profiles, enabling personalization and targeting. The form profiileiksi thus functions both as a grammatical marker of change and as a practical term in discussions of profiling and data representation.

Etymology traces profiili to the loanword profile, itself from English (ultimately from Latin/French roots). The form profiileiksi is a standard Finnish plural translative that aligns with other loanwords and common nouns in similar grammatical patterns.
