rajoitetummin

Rajoitetummin is a Finnish adverb formed from the passive participle raijoitetettu meaning restricted, with the comparative adverbial suffix -ummin. It is used to express that something is done, provided, or exists in a more restricted manner than another reference point. The form is most common in formal, administrative, or policy-oriented language when describing degrees of restriction.

In practice, rajoitetummin describes the manner or extent of restriction rather than an attribute of a noun. It can modify verbs or clauses, for example when comparing how access, information, or permissions are handled. Common contexts include data sharing, access control, and regulatory measures. Examples (illustrative, not exhaustive) include: “Tietoja jaettiin rajoitetummin kuin aiemmin” (The information was shared more restrictively than before) and “Pääsyoikeudet on asetettu rajoitetummin” (Access rights have been set more restrictively). Another instance could be “Tiedot ovat rajoitetummin saatavilla,” meaning the data are available in a more restricted way.

Relationship to related forms: rajoitetummin is the adverbial comparative form, while rajoitettu is the past participle meaning “restricted,” and rajoittuneempi or rajoitetumpi are the standard comparative adjectives used to describe a noun. The adverbial form focuses on how something is done rather than describing a property of a noun.

Usage note: rajoitetummin is primarily found in formal writing, policy documents, and official communications. In everyday Finnish, speakers may prefer simpler constructions such as “rajoitetummin” or rephrase to emphasize the degree of restriction without the adverbial form.
