vuoksi

• IPA^(key): /ˈʋuo̯ksi/, [ˈʋuo̞̯ks̠i]
• Rhymes: -uoksi
• Syllabification^(key): vuok‧si

From vuo +‎ -ksi, the translative of vuo.

genitive + vuoksi + possessive suffix

1. due to, because of, for one's sake

   Kiertue peruttiin sairauden vuoksi.

   The tour was canceled due to illness.

   Älä minun vuokseni keitä uutta kahvia!

   Don't brew new coffee just for my sake.

When the head word is a personal pronoun, a possessive suffix is attached to vuoksi. As normal, the first and second person personal pronouns are often omitted, i.e. the person is only indicated by the possessive suffix.

• takia
• johdosta
• tähden

• syy

Derived from vuo. Possibly equivalent to vuo +‎ -s; the -ksi for -s (< -ks) is probably an archaism due to the suffix being attached to a monosyllabic stem.
