rajoitetulla

Rajoitetulla is a Finnish grammatical form: the adessive singular of the passive participle raajoitutettu? (correctly rajoitettu) meaning restricted. It is not a stand-alone lexical item; its meaning arises from the concept of restriction and the adessive suffix -lla, which in Finnish marks location or manner.

Etymology: the form derives from the verb rajoittaa meaning to restrict, with the past participle rajoitettu meaning restricted. The suffix -lla yields rajoitetulla, used to indicate “with the restricted [X]” or “in a restricted [X].”

Usage: it occurs primarily in formal, legal, or administrative language to specify the manner, status, or contextual constraint of an action or object. It commonly modifies nouns in the adessive construction: rajoitetulla käytöllä (with restricted use), rajoitetulla luvalla (with restricted permission), rajoitetulla alueella (in a restricted area).

Notes: In everyday Finnish, you are more likely to see the phrase with the full noun: rajoitetulla alueella rather than using a bare noun. The form is one of many adessive constructions that express accompanying circumstances or conditions.

Examples:

- Tämä materiaali on rajoitetulla käytöllä.

- Dokumentit ovat saatavilla rajoitetulla luvalla.

- Pääsy rajoitetulla alueella edellyttää valtuutusta.
