sekundaarisiksi

Sekundaarisiksi is a coined term that appears mainly in linguistic discussions about Finno-Ugric morphology rather than as a standard entry in dictionaries. It is not a widely attested word in Finnish or Estonian, but is used in some educational or theoretical contexts to illustrate how an adjective meaning “secondary” could be converted into a role or state marker through a suffixal derivation.

Etymology and form. The proposed base would be a form meaning “secondary,” such as sekundaarinen in Finnish or sekundaarne in Estonian, itself borrowing from Latin secundarius. The suffix -iksi in Finnish (or its Estonian equivalent -iseks) is used to express conversion into a state or role, roughly translating to “into as” or “as.” Consequently, sekundaarisiksi would be analyzed as “into secondary” or “as secondary,” depending on the syntactic context.

Usage. In practice, sekundaarisiksi is used primarily as an illustrative example in morphology or typology discussions to demonstrate how languages express a change of status or category via suffixal derivation. It is not a common word in everyday language and is seldom found in standard grammars or corpora. When it appears, it is typically with clarifications that it is a hypothetical or exemplar form, not a widely attested lexical item.

Notes. The form highlights typical Finno-Ugric patterns of turning adjectives into predicative or role-based constructions with the translative suffix. As a neologism, its primary value lies in demonstrations of derivational processes rather than in practical usage.
