transformaatioksi

Transformaatioksi is the translative singular form of the Finnish noun transformaatio, meaning “into a transformation” or “as a transformation.” In Finnish grammar, the translative case (-ksi) marks a change of state, result, or role, and is commonly used to express that something becomes or is interpreted as a transformation.

In usage, transformaatioksi appears in formal or technical contexts, often after verbs such as tulkita (to interpret), määrittää (to define), or muuttaa (to convert). Examples include: Tämä voidaan tulkita transformaatioksi, ja Tapahtuma määriteltiin transformaatioksi järjestelmässä. The form thus functions to label a state or outcome as a transformation.

Etymology and form: The noun transformaa tio is a loanword formed with the Finnish -aatio nominal suffix, derived from the root transform- (related to transformation). The translative suffix -ksi attaches to produce transformaatioksi, the standard form for “into a transformation.” This pattern is typical for many Finnish scientific and technical terms.

Usage notes: Transformaatioksi is typically found in academic, scientific, or formal discourse, but it can also appear in discussions of processes, models, or interpretations where a set of operations results in a transformation. It is one of several translative forms used to denote outcomes or reclassifications in Finnish.

Related terms include transformaatio (the noun for transformation), and more general terms like muutos (change) or muunnos (conversion). The translative case itself governs a broad range of meanings related to change into a new state or role.
