sallittuun

Sallittuun is a Finnish grammatical form, specifically the illative singular form of the adjective sallittu, which means allowed or permitted. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, and when the noun is in the illative case (often translated as “to” or “toward” something), the corresponding adjective form also takes an illative ending. Thus sallittuun appears in phrases where both the noun and the modified concept are directed toward a destination described as permitted.

Etymology and function: sallittuun derives from the participial adjective sallittu, which comes from the verb sallita, “to allow.” The illative ending -uun attaches to the adjective to indicate movement toward or toward the state of being permitted. This form is common in formal, regulatory, or technical language where permissions, uses, or purposes are specified.

Usage notes: Sallittuun is used when an illative noun phrase requires an adjective that conveys permission or allowance. It is most often seen in written, official, or administrative contexts. Because Finnish adjectives decline to match the noun they modify, sallittuun will appear as part of a larger noun phrase in illative construction, for example in phrases like “käyttöön sallittuun tarkoitukseen” (for the use/purpose that is permitted).

Limitations: Sallittuun is a grammatical form rather than a standalone lexical entry with a separate meaning. It is most relevant in discussions of Finnish morphology and formal language, not as a common everyday word outside specific regulatory or descriptive contexts.
