lukitseva

Lukitseva is a Finnish adjective and present active participle derived from the verb lukita, meaning to lock. The form is used to describe something that performs locking or creates a lock. As a participle, lukitseva can function attributively to modify a noun (for example, lukitseva mekanismi) or be used in predicative constructions with appropriate inflection.

In practical use, lukitseva describes features, devices, or actions that impose a lock or restrict access. It is common in technical writing about machinery, security devices, and software functionality where a mechanism or operation prevents changes or access. The term can appear in contexts such as locking mechanisms, protective features, or access-control functions.

Grammatically, lukitseva is declined like other Finnish adjectives and must agree with the noun it modifies in case, number, and definiteness. Typical examples include lukitseva mekanismi (a locking mechanism), lukitseva toiminto (a locking function), and lukitseva ominaisuus (a locking feature). The related nouns lukitus (lock, locking) and lukko (lock) are frequently used in similar technical discussions.
