Proíbem

Proíbem is a Portuguese verb, the third-person plural present indicative form of the verb proibir. Proibir translates to "to prohibit" or "to forbid" in English. Therefore, "proíbem" signifies that a group of people or entities are actively preventing or disallowing something. For example, one might say "Os pais proíbem os filhos de saírem tarde" which means "The parents forbid their children from going out late." This grammatical form is used in various contexts, from legal statutes to social rules and personal restrictions. The subject performing the action of prohibiting is plural, indicating multiple agents are responsible for the prohibition. The tense is present indicative, meaning the action is happening currently or is a habitual occurrence. Understanding "proíbem" is crucial for comprehending sentences where a collective group enforces a restriction. Its usage is widespread in Portuguese-speaking countries and reflects a common grammatical structure for expressing prohibitions by multiple parties.
