sisältäviksi

Sisältäviksi is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb sisältää, meaning “to contain.” It is the translative plural form of the present active participle sisältävä, which corresponds roughly to “containing.” The form is produced by taking the participle stem and adding the translative ending -ksi in plural, yielding sisältäviksi. In Finnish, the translative marks a change of state or a shift into a role or category.

The use of sisältäviksi is mainly found in formal, technical, or legal language, particularly in contexts where items or elements are being categorized, listed, or described as having a containing function or as belonging to a set of things that contain something. Because it is a specific inflectional niche, sisältäviksi is less common in everyday speech and writing. It often appears in phrases that relate to classification, specification, or requirements, where precision about what contains what is being communicated.

In relation to other forms, sisältäviksi is one example of how Finnish forms participles to express nuanced meanings such as possession, inclusion, or transformation into a category. Related words include the base verb sisältää (to contain), and the participle sisältävä (containing). The translative case, indicated by -ksi, is used more widely in Finnish to denote change into a state or role, while the plural form shows agreement with multiple items.
