Raudoitetulle

Raudoitetulle is a Finnish linguistic form, derived from the verb raudoittaa, meaning to shackle or to chain, and from the past participle raudoitettu, meaning shackled. The word is formed with the allative suffix -lle, which in Finnish marks direction toward or the beneficiary of an action, yielding raudoitetulle. In usage, raudoitetulle functions as a nominalized participle in the allative case, referring to a person or entity that has been shackled and is the target or recipient of some measure or action.

The form is primarily encountered in formal, historical, or legal prose rather than in everyday spoken Finnish. It signals not just a state (being shackled) but a particular participant to whom an action is directed, much like a dative construction in other languages. Because raudoitus and raudoitettu carry the semantic field of restraint, raudoitetulle is typically associated with contexts involving punishment, custody, or procedural steps in historical or archival documents.

Etymology and morphology: raudoitetulle combines the root raudoitt- (to shackle) with the past participle raudoitettu, and the allative suffix -lle. This makes it a relatively specialized grammatical form rather than a common, standalone lexical item.
