rajoitustaan

Rajoitustaan is a Finnish grammatical form built from the noun rajoitus, meaning restriction or limitation. It is used to refer to a restriction belonging to a third person or entity, and it appears most often in formal writing such as legal texts, policy documents, and business reports. In context, the phrase helps specify what particular restriction is being discussed and who it concerns.

In general terms, rajoitus denotes a rule, limit, or constraint that applies to actions, permissions, or situations. The form rajoitustaan marks possession and relates the restriction to its possessor, making it a useful instrument for precise descriptions in Finnish sentences. While the word itself is common, its possessive construction is especially frequent in regulatory language where authorities or organisations describe the scope of restrictions.

Usage examples illustrate its role. Rajoitustaan koskeva päätös astuu voimaan pian translates roughly to “the decision concerning its restriction comes into effect soon.” Rajoitustaan lievennettiin viime kuussa means “its restriction was relaxed last month.” Such constructions help maintain a formal tone and avoid ambiguity about who bears the restriction and what it entails.

Related terms include rajoitus (restriction or limitation) and verbs such as rajoittaa (to restrict). Rajoitustaan is thus a specific, context-dependent form used within Finnish to reference a particular restriction owned or imposed by a subject. It is not a separate concept but a grammatical tool that supports precise reporting and analysis in administrative and legal writing.
