reaaliaikaiseksi

Reaaliaikaiseksi is the translative singular form of the Finnish adjective reaaliaikainen, used to express a change of state into something that is real-time or operates in real time. The word arises from the compound reaaliaika (real time) combined with the suffix -inen to form the adjective, and -ksi to indicate a state change.

In Finnish grammar, the translative case -ksi marks becoming or turning into something. Therefore reaaliaikaiseksi is used after verbs that describe making or becoming real-time, such as muuttaa, tehdä, asettaa tai määrittää. It is a form that describes a result state rather than a current characteristic, distinguishing it from the attributive adjective reaaliaikainen.

Usage examples include: Järjestelmä voidaan muuttaa reaaliaikaiseksi. Tietovirta muutetaan reaaliaikaiseksi. Raportointi voidaan tehdä reaaliaikaiseksi. Tulokset esitetään reaaliaikaisiksi. These examples show how the word denotes transformation into a real-time condition and can be used with singular or plural subjects, adjusting the ending accordingly (reaaliaikaiseksi, reaaliaikaisiksi).

Related terms include reaaliaikainen (real-time), which describes something having real-time properties, and other Finnish grammatical forms of the same adjective (e.g., reaaliaikaiselle, reaaliaikaisiin) used with different cases and numbers. In IT and data contexts, reaaliaikaiseksi is common when describing systems or processes that are configured, updated, or transformed to operate without noticeable delay. The term is neutral and widely understood in technical Finnish.
