sitoumuksiksi

Sitoumuksiksi is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the noun sitoumus, which means a binding commitment or obligation. The form is the translative plural, used to indicate that something is turned into or designated as a set of commitments. It is most common in formal or legal language, policy documents, and administrative writing rather than in everyday speech.

In practice, sitoumuksiksi appears when plans, agreements, or programs are framed as a collection of obligations for one or more parties. For example, a government program might be described as being converted into sitoumuksiksi to clarify the duties of different actors, or a contract outline might be presented as sitoumuksiksi to emphasize the commitments involved.

Etymology and grammar: sitoumus is the base noun for a commitment. The translative case, marked by the suffix -ksi (or -iksi in plural contexts), expresses transformation into something. Thus sitoumuksiksi signals “into commitments” or “as commitments” in plural form. This usage tends to occur in formal Finnish where precise designation of obligations is important.

Related terms include sitoumus (commitment), lupaus (promise), velvoite (obligation), and sopimus (contract). While sitoumuksiksi is primarily a formal or legal expression, it fits within a broader vocabulary describing duties, agreements, and governance.
