Sallittavien

Sallittavien is a Finnish linguistic form that functions as the genitive plural of the adjective sallittava, meaning permissible or allowed. In practice, sallittavien appears in phrases referring to multiple items, actions, or categories that a rule or policy permits. It is commonly found in legal, administrative, and regulatory texts to specify what is allowed under a given framework.

The word derives from the verb sallia, to permit. Sallittava is the adjectival form used to describe something that may be permitted, and sallittavien is its genitive plural form. As a declinable adjective, sallittava agrees with the noun it modifies, and sallittavien is used when the governing noun is in genitive plural (for example, sallittavien aineiden määrä, the amount of permissible substances).

Usage of sallittavien is typical in formal documents, policy descriptions, and official guidelines where a list or category of allowances is being defined. It helps to distinguish what is allowed under the rule from what is prohibited or restricted. The construction is often part of longer phrases like sallittavien asioiden lista (the list of permissible matters) or sallittavien tuotteiden laajuus (the scope of permissible products).

Examples include: "Sallittavien aineiden määrä on rajoitettu," meaning the number of permissible substances is limited; and "Sallittavien toimenpiteiden valinta riippuu tilanteesta," meaning the selection of permissible actions depends on the situation. Sallittavien appears primarily in formal written Finnish rather than everyday speech.
