tulkinnoiksi

Tulkinnoiksi is a Finnish inflected form that roughly corresponds to “into interpretations” in English. It is a translative form that relates to the noun tulkinta, which means interpretation, rendering, or explanation. The form is used to indicate becoming or turning into several possible interpretations.

In practical use, tulkinnoiksi appears in contexts where something is discussed as taking on multiple interpretations rather than a single, fixed meaning. The translative case signals a change of state, so tulkinnoiksi is most likely to be found in analytical, critical, or theoretical writing where the variability of meaning is being explored. The plural aspect further emphasizes that there are several ways to understand a subject.

The term is related to other Finnish forms of the same root, such as tulkinnan (genitive) or tulkinta (the base noun). As a grammatical form, tulkinnoiksi follows standard Finnish inflection patterns for translative plural endings, though exact usage can vary with authorial preference and stylistic considerations. In everyday language, speakers might opt for simpler or more common variants, depending on register and context.
