rajoitettaessa

Rajoitettaessa is a Finnish word that translates to "when limiting," "upon limiting," or "in the case of limiting" in English. It is the inessive plural form of the participle of the verb "rajoittaa," which means "to limit," "to restrict," or "to confine." The word is used to indicate a situation where a restriction or limitation is being applied or considered.

This grammatical form often appears in legal contexts, policy documents, or discussions about regulations. For example, "Lupaa rajoitettaessa voidaan asettaa ehtoja" would translate to "When granting a permit, conditions can be imposed," implying that the permit itself is subject to limitations. Similarly, "Liikenteen rajoitettaessa nopeusrajoitukset tulevat voimaan" means "When traffic is restricted, speed limits come into effect." The word "rajoitettaessa" signifies the condition under which certain actions or consequences occur.

It emphasizes the circumstances of restriction rather than the act of limiting itself, focusing on the state of being limited or the moment a limitation is put into place. The context in which "rajoitettaessa" is used clarifies the specific nature of the limitation and its implications.
