tehnoloogiliseks

Tehnoloogiliseks is the translative form of the Estonian adjective tehnoloogiline, meaning technological. It is used to express a change of state into a technological condition or to describe something as becoming technological. In Estonian grammar, the translative case marks a transition or result state and is commonly used with verbs of becoming, such as muutuma (to become) or saama (to become/get). Therefore, tehno­loogiliseks often appears after such verbs or in phrases that indicate turning into a technological form or role.

Common usage examples include: Ettevõte muutub tehnoloogiliseks. Ta saab tehnoloogiliseks juhiks. Ettevõte soovib saada tehnoloogiliseks nõustajaks. In these sentences, tehno­loogiliseks functions as a predicative complement after the verb, or as part of a phrase indicating becoming something in a logistical or organizational sense.

Etymology and form: The word is derived from tehnoloogiline (technological) and follows Estonian translative inflection rules to denote becoming or transition. The form is typical for adjectives describing a state brought about by an action, and it is used both in formal writing and in everyday contexts where a shift toward technology-related characteristics or capabilities is being described.

Related terms and context: The root tehnoloogiline is connected to the Estonian word for technology, tehnoloogia, and appears in various derivatives describing technology-related qualities, processes, or roles. Tehnoloogiliseks is chiefly a grammatical tool for describing a change toward a technological condition rather than a standalone noun.
