tumattomiksi

"Tumattomiksi" is a Finnish word that translates to "to become blind" in English. It is a compound word consisting of "tuma," meaning "blind," and "miksi," which is a suffix used to form the passive voice of verbs. Therefore, "tumattomiksi" literally means "to be made blind." This term is used to describe a situation or process where someone's vision is impaired or lost as a result of an external cause, such as an injury, illness, or medical procedure.

The passive voice in Finnish is formed by adding the suffix "-miksi" to the base form of the verb. In this case, "tumaa" (to become blind) becomes "tumattomiksi" when expressing that the action is done to the subject. For example, "Hän on tumattomiksi tehty" translates to "He has been made blind."

This term is important in medical and legal contexts, where it is used to describe the condition of blindness resulting from specific events or treatments. It is also used in discussions about visual impairment and the rights of blind individuals.
