veroiksi

Veroiksi is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the noun vero, meaning tax. It is the translative plural form, used to express a change of state or designation into taxes or as taxes when referring to multiple items. The singular translative is veroksi. In standard Finnish, the translative case indicates transformation or designation, and veroiksi appears mainly in formal, legal, or historical texts; it is relatively uncommon in everyday language.

In practice, veroiksi can occur in contexts where several items are reclassified or named as taxes, or when discussing tax designations in a plural sense. For example, tavarat muutettiin veroiksi means “the goods were transformed into taxes.” Such usage is primarily linguistic or theoretical, illustrating how the translative plural forms operate, rather than representing common spoken Finnish.

Origin and grammar notes: Veroiksi is formed from the root vero- with the translative plural suffix -iksi. The form is part of Finnish noun declension and mirrors other nouns that take -iksi in the translative plural, though it remains infrequent in contemporary usage. As a grammatical form, veroiksi does not denote a separate concept beyond its role in inflection.
