Suojellun

Suojellun is a Finnish grammatical form rather than a standalone noun or place. It is the genitive singular form of the past participle adjective suojeltu, meaning protected. In Finnish, adjectives decline to match the case and number of the noun they modify, and their genitive singular form often ends in -n.

In practice, suojellun is used when an adjective describes a noun that is in the genitive case. For example, in the phrase suojellun rakennuksen julkisivu, the noun rakennus is in the genitive, and suojellun functions as the modifying adjective meaning “of the protected building.” Similarly, suojellun alueen rajat would translate to “the boundaries of the protected area.” The form is not used by itself to convey protection; rather, it articulates the property of the modified noun within a genitive construction.

Usage notes indicate that suojellun appears primarily in formal, legal, planning, or heritage documentation, where precise designation of protection status is required. It is not a proper noun and does not denote a specific entity named “Suojellun.” Instead, it serves as a grammatical tool to express that a particular noun is protected.
