sektoriksi

Sektoriksi is the translative form of the Finnish noun sektor (sector). In Finnish, the translative case, marked by the suffix -ksi, expresses a change of state or designation. Therefore, sektoriksi literally means into a sector or as a sector, and it is used in contexts where something is classified as or becomes a sector.

Sektor is a loanword in Finnish, common in economic and administrative vocabulary. The translative suffix -ksi is a standard grammatical formation, so sektoriksi is produced by attaching -ksi to sektor to indicate a new status or role. The word does not denote a separate concept on its own; its meaning derives from the base noun and the grammatical function of the translative case.

In usage, sektoriksi appears primarily in formal or technical language, especially in economics, statistics, and public administration. It is used to express that something is being designated as a sector or is undergoing a change to be treated as a sector. Typical constructions include luokitella sektoriksi (to classify as a sector) or muuttua sektoriksi (to become a sector). For example: In economic analysis, toimialat voidaan luokitella sektoriksi tilastoinnissa. Another example: Hankkeen rooli voi muuttua sektoriksi, kun sitä tarkastellaan kansantalouden rakenteen kontekstissa.

Related terms include sektor (sector) and the Finnish translative case itself. The form is primarily a grammatical tool for describing classification or transformation, rather than a standalone concept with a Separate domain meaning.
