Rajoittuneina

Rajoittuneina is a Finnish participial form derived from the verb rajoittaa, meaning to restrict. It expresses a state of being restricted and functions as an adjective-like predicative or attributive form, typically used with plural subjects. The form is common in formal language, particularly in legal, administrative, or policy texts, where groups, areas, or resources are described as subject to restrictions.

In usage, ra

joittuneina denotes that something or someone operates under specified limits. It can pair with different nouns to indicate restricted status and is often found in contexts such as data access, permissions, travel, or geographic scope. Examples of the concept include phrases like ra joittuneina henkilöinä (as restricted persons) and ra joittuneina alueina (as restricted areas). In such constructions, the exact restrictions are usually detailed in surrounding text.

Relation to other forms: ra joittunut is the base past participle meaning “restricted,” and ra joittuneina is its plural participial form used in predicative or attributive positions. The form is mainly seen in Finnish written language and formal discourse, where precise status or eligibility needs to be described concisely.
