Rajallisia

Rajallisia is the partitive plural form of the Finnish adjective rajallinen, meaning "limited" or "finite." In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case; rajallisia appears when the associated noun is plural and in the partitive case, typically to express partial quantity or indefinite extent.

The term is commonly used in policy, economics, and everyday speech to describe resources, options, or conditions that are not unlimited. For example, one might say, Weillä on rajallisia resursseja (We have limited resources), or Hankkeella on rajallisia aikarajoitteita (The project has time constraints). The form conveys a sense of constraint rather than a complete absence, and it often appears with nouns like resursseja, mahdollisuuksia, aikarajoitteita, or vaihtoehtoja.

Etymology and related forms: rajallinen derives from the Finnish root raja, meaning border or limit, combined with a suffix that forms an adjective meaning "limited." The opposite concept is rajaton or rajattomat, meaning unlimited. Other related expressions describe partial or constrained conditions, such as rajallinen annos or rajalliset mahdollisuudet.
