rajoitetuilta

Rajoitetuilta is a Finnish grammatical form that translates roughly to “from the restricted.” It is the elative plural form of the past participle raajoitetettu (to restrict). In Finnish, the elative case expresses origin or source, and the plural form is used when the modified noun is plural, yielding phrases such as raajoitetuilta.

Semantic and functional notes:

Rajoitetuilta is most often used in formal or technical writing, particularly in contexts involving access control, data handling, security, or regulatory language. It signals that information, sources, or entities come from restricted or limited groups or areas. The form acts as an adjective-like modifier and typically precedes a noun in the elative case, for example raajoitetuilta lähteiltä (“from restricted sources”) or raajoitetuilta osapuolilta (“from restricted parties”).

Usage considerations:

As a compound in editorial or legal Finnish, raajoitetuilta is part of a broader system of participial adjectives derived from raajottaa and raajoitus, and it tends to appear in written language rather than casual speech. The precise meaning is determined by the noun it modifies; without a following noun, raajoitetuilta remains a partial phrase and is rarely used alone.

Examples:

- Tiedot on kerätty rajoitetuilta lähteiltä.

- Sopimus sisältää tiedot, jotka on osoitettu rajoitetuilta osapuolilta.
