Rajoituksella

Rajoitus is a Finnish noun meaning restriction or limitation. Rajoituksella is the adessive singular form, meaning “with a restriction” or “by regulation.” In Finnish, the adessive often expresses the manner, instrument, or basis of an action, and rajoituksella is commonly used in legal, administrative, and policy texts to indicate that an operation is subject to a constraint or created by a regulation.

The term is frequently encountered in contexts such as legislation, public health measures, event management, and data handling, where activities are allowed only under specified constraints. It can be translated into English as “by regulation,” “with the restriction,” or “under the restriction.” The phrasing tends to highlight the instrument or reason behind the rule rather than the rule itself.

Examples of usage include: “Tämän tilan käyttö on sallittu rajoituksella, jonka mukaan enintään kymmenen henkilöä voi oleskella tilassa.” and “Tietojen jakaminen tapahtuu rajoituksella, joka suojaa yksityisyyttä.” In everyday Finnish, more common alternatives to express the same idea are “rajoituksen mukaan” or “lain/asetuksen nojalla,” but rajoituksella appears in more formal, official texts.
