yrityksiksi

Yrityksiksi is the translative plural form of the Finnish noun yritys (enterprise, company). It denotes a state, role, or transformation into being “as companies” or “into companies.” The form is used in predicative constructions and in descriptions that express a change of status or designation for multiple entities.

Morphology and usage are straightforward in Finnish grammar. The plural stem of yritys is yritykset, and the translative suffix -ksi is added to yield yrityksiksi. This form indicates a transition or designation of several entities as companies. It is commonly found with verbs that express becoming, such as muuttua or tulla, as well as with other predicative constructions.

Common contexts include privatization and organizational reform. For example, the sentence Valtion omistamat yhtiöt muutettiin yksityisiksi yrityksiksi demonstrates the transformation of state-owned units into private companies. Another example could be Julkisyhteisöt muutettiin yrityksiksi in a broader discussion of restructuring. In political, economic, or legal texts, yrityksiksi helps describe how groups or units are redefined as corporate entities.

Notes on form and meaning: yrityksiksi refers to several entities. When speaking of a single company, the singular form is yritykseksi, not yrityksiksi. The translative suffix -ksi expresses becoming or designation, and its plural -iksi is used after stems that form the plural as yritykset, yielding yrityksiksi. This nuance is important for precise signaling of number and state in Finnish.
