Forhindres

Forhindres is the present tense passive form of the Danish verb forhindre, meaning to prevent or hinder. It describes a state in which someone or something is not allowed to act or to occur, due to external factors or constraints.

Etymology and forms: The term is formed from the prefix for- combined with hindre (to hinder). It is used in passive constructions, often with the preposition i followed by an infinitive verb, as in forhindres i at deltage (is prevented from participating). The related noun hindring means an obstruction. The past participle form is forhindret, used in perfect or pluperfect tenses (det blev forhindret; det er forhindret).

Usage: Forhindres appears in contexts where an action is blocked or a plan is obstructed. Common constructions include "forhindres i at" + infinitive, or "bliver/blev forhindret" in passive clauses. Example sentences: Det bliver forhindret af vejrforholdene. Han blev forhindret i at deltage i mødet. Planen forhindres af tekniske problemer.

Cross-language note: Danish forhindres corresponds to Norwegian Bokmål forhindres and Swedish hindras, all meaning “is prevented.” Related Danish terms include forhindring (an obstruction) and forhindre (to prevent, to stop).
