Learn Finnish: Tämä asettelu tekee installaation moniselitteiseksi. - This layout makes the installation ambiguous.

The verb tehdä (to make) is used here to express causing a change of state. In Finnish, a resulting state or role is marked with the translative case (-ksi). The sentence literally says the layout makes the installation into an ambiguous one.

Why is the object installaation in the genitive-looking accusative case instead of the partitive?

The action of making the installation ambiguous is viewed as a complete, finalized action affecting the entire thing. Therefore, the singular object takes the total object marker, the -n ending. If the sentence was describing an ongoing or incomplete process, it would use the partitive form installaatiota.

How is the adjective moniselitteinen formed?

It is a compound word. The prefix moni- means "many" or "multi-". The second part, selitteinen, is derived from the verb selittää (to explain). Together, it literally means "multi-explainable," which translates to "ambiguous" or "open to multiple interpretations".

Where does the noun asettelu come from?
