Sallitulla

Sallitulla is the adessive singular form of the Finnish adjective sallittu, meaning "allowed" or "permitted." It functions as a descriptive form used with a noun to indicate that the noun is in a permitted state, location, or manner. The term appears in everyday language as well as in official or safety-related texts.

Usage and meaning

Sallitulla describes the state of being allowed under rules or regulations. It is commonly found in phrases that specify where something may occur, how something should be done, or under what conditions. For example, sallitulla alueella means “in the permissible area,” and sallitulla tavalla means “in an allowed manner.” Because Finnish adjectives decline according to case, number, and definiteness, sallitulla changes form to align with the noun it describes.

Derivation and grammar

The form comes from the root adjective sallittu (allowed) formed from the verb sallia (to allow) with the past participle suffix -ttu. The adessive ending -lla yields sallitulla, used to express location or state in a phrase such as “[something] sallitulla alueella.” Other inflected forms exist for different cases and numbers, following standard Finnish adjective declension.

Examples

- Sallitulla alueella liikkuminen on sallittua vain merkittyjen reittien mukaan. (Movement within the permitted area is allowed only along marked routes.)

- Toiminta on sallitulla tavalla suoritettava, jotta turvallisuus säilyy. (The operation must be performed in an allowed manner to maintain safety.)

- Pieni muutos on sallitulla tavalla lähtökohtaisesti hyväksytty. (A small change is, in principle, approved under the permitted conditions.)
