Rajattua

Rajattua is a grammatical form in the Finnish language. It is the partitive singular form of the adjective rajattu, which means restricted or limited. The form is used to describe a noun in the partitive case, typically referring to information, materials, or activities that are controlled or access-limited.

In usage, rajattua is commonly found in official or technical contexts such as legal documents, data protection notices, or security classifications, where information is designated as restricted. For example, rajattua tietoa translates to restricted information, and rajattua materiaalia to restricted materials. In plural, related forms such as rajattuja tietoja or rajattuja materiaaleja are used to indicate multiple restricted items. It should be distinguished from related adjectives like rajattu used in other grammatical cases (for example, rajattu alue meaning a restricted area).

Etymology-wise, rajattua derives from the Finnish root raja, meaning border or limit, combined with the past participle suffix -ttu, yielding rajattu meaning restricted. The inflected form rajattua arises through standard Finnish case and number inflection rules.

Notes and usage considerations: rajattua is not a standalone lexical item in English; rather, it is a grammatical form of a Finnish adjective. Non-Finnish readers should look to translations like “restricted” or “limited” tied to the noun it modifies. In English-language discussions of Finnish, you will encounter the concept mainly through examples rather than as an independent term.
