väkeväksi

väkeväksi is a Finnish word that translates to "stronger" or "more potent" in English. It is the translative case of the adjective väkevä, meaning strong, potent, or powerful. This grammatical form is used to indicate a change or transformation into a stronger or more potent state. For example, one might say a drink has become väkeväksi if its alcohol content has increased, or a substance is mixed väkeväksi to make it more concentrated.

The word väkevä itself has a broad range of applications. It can describe physical strength, such as a väkevä mies (strong man), or the intensity of a flavor, like a väkevä kahvi (strong coffee). It can also refer to the power of something intangible, such as a väkevä tunne (strong feeling) or a väkevä puhe (powerful speech). Therefore, väkeväksi signifies the process or result of achieving a higher degree of any of these qualities. Its usage is common in everyday Finnish conversation and literature.
