Rajoitettuihin

Rajoitettuihin is a Finnish illative plural form of the past participle raajoitettu (restricted). It is used to refer to groups or items that are subject to restrictions and functions primarily as part of a noun phrase rather than as a standalone noun. In English it would translate roughly as “to the restricted ones” or “into the restricted [ones],” depending on the context.

Morphology and formation: The base adjective or participle raajoitettu means “restricted.” In Finnish, adjectives and participles inflect for number and case. The illative plural ending is -iin, which yields rajoitettuihin. This form is typically accompanied by a following noun in the illative case, for example rajoitettuihin tiloihin (into the restricted spaces) or rajoitettuihin henkilöihin (to the restricted persons).

Usage: Rajoitettuihin is most common in formal, legal, administrative, or technical Finnish. It appears in phrases that describe destination, access, or targets of restrictions. The word is rarely used as a stand-alone term; it usually precedes or accompanies a noun, enabling precise reference to a specific restricted group or set of items within a sentence or heading.

Examples:

- He eivät päässeet raajoitettuihin tiloihin ilman valtuutusta. (They could not enter the restricted spaces without authorization.)

- Dokumentissa käsitellään turvallisuusvaatimukset raajoitettuihin kohteisiin. (The document discusses safety requirements for the restricted targets.)
