syöväksi

Syöväksi is a Finnish word that translates to "to be eaten" or "for eating." It is derived from the Finnish verb "syödä," meaning "to eat." The word "syöväksi" is typically used in a context that describes something as being intended for consumption or as having the quality of being edible.

For example, one might say that a certain type of mushroom is "syöväksi," meaning it is safe and suitable for eating. Conversely, if a food item is not edible, it would not be described as "syöväksi." The term can also be used more broadly to indicate that something is meant to be consumed, whether it is food or something else that can be metaphorically "consumed," such as time or resources.

The grammatical form "syöväksi" is the translative case of the verbal noun derived from "syödä." This case often indicates a transformation or a change of state, so in this context, it implies a state of being destined for or becoming food. It is a common and useful word in the Finnish language for describing the edibility or intended purpose of various items.
