Sallitut

Sallitut is a Finnish adjective meaning "allowed" or "permitted." It is the plural form used to describe multiple nouns and is derived from the verb sallia, which means to allow or to permit. In practice, sallitut is commonly found in official language, safety guidelines, and everyday speech to indicate what is permitted under a given rule or regulation.

In usage, sallitut modifies plural nouns, for example sallitut toimet (the permitted actions) or sallitut alueet (the permitted areas). It functions similarly to other adjectives that describe permissions or allowances in Finnish. The term is frequently contrasted with kielletty, meaning forbidden, so documents may specify what is sallitua versus what is kielletty.

Grammatically, sallitut appears as the plural nominative form of the past passive participle sallittu, used as an attributive adjective. In different grammatical contexts the form changes to align with the noun it describes, such as sallitun luvan (of the permitted license) in genitive constructions or sallitulla alueella (in the permitted area) in adessive phrases.

Translations into English center on "allowed" or "permitted," with nuances depending on context. In legal, regulatory, or safety texts, sallitut clearly marks items, actions, locations, or conditions that are approved for use or occurrence.
