suunnitteluksi

Suunnitteluksi is a translative form of the Finnish noun suunnittelu, meaning planning or design. The word expresses a role or state in which something is regarded as a plan or is transformed into a plan. In Finnish, the translative case (-ksi) signifies change of state or a functional role, so suunnitteluksi can be understood as “as a plan/design” or “into a plan.”

Usage and scope

In practice, suunnitteluksi appears primarily in formal or technical texts, such as project documentation, architectural or urban planning contexts, or product development. It indicates that a document, proposal, or phase is intended to function as a plan or design, rather than as a finished implementation. It can also describe the transition from ideation to planning, or the designation of a phase as the planning stage.

Examples

Kohteen käyttötarkoitus määritellään suunnitteluksi ennen lopullista lupaprosessia. This translates to defining the intended use as a plan/design before the final permitting process.

Tämä raportti toimii suunnitteluksi koko kehitysprosessin ohjenuorana. The report serves as the planning framework for the entire development process.
