Kiellettyyn

Kiellettyyn is a Finnish word form that appears in the language’s grammatical system. It is the illative singular form of the adjective or past participle kielletty, meaning “forbidden.”

In Finnish, illative denotes motion toward or into something; combining kielletty with the illative suffix -yn yields kiellettyyn, used to refer to something that is forbidden when described in the illative case. This form is typically attached to a noun that is in illative to express “into the forbidden [place/state].”

Usage examples are found in formal, descriptive, or legal contexts where movement toward or entry into something prohibited is being described. Common constructions include phrases like päänsykiellettyyn tilaan (access to the forbidden state) or kiellettyyn alueeseen mentäessä (when entering the forbidden area). The exact meaning is governed by the accompanying noun in illative and the broader sentence structure.

Notes: kiellettyyn is not a standalone, everyday word with broad usage. Rather, it is a grammatical form used in specific phrases to emphasize prohibition or to describe a state or place that is forbidden. Its appearance is more common in safety notices, regulations, or descriptive texts than in casual speech.
