tyhjäämäksi

The Finnish word "tyhjäämäksi" is the translative plural form of the noun "tyhjä," which means "empty" or "void." As a translative case, it indicates a change of state or condition, signifying becoming empty or into a state of emptiness. The plural form suggests that this transformation is happening to multiple things or entities. Therefore, "tyhjäämäksi" can be translated as "into being empty" or "as empty ones."

This grammatical form is relatively uncommon in everyday Finnish and tends to appear in more literary or specific contexts. It might be used to describe a collective transformation of objects, places, or even abstract concepts into a state of emptiness. For instance, one might encounter it in a sentence describing a group of containers being emptied or a collection of ideas becoming devoid of meaning. The specific nuance of "tyhjäämäksi" lies in emphasizing the process of becoming empty rather than the state of being empty itself.
