diizinkan

Diizinkan is an Indonesian verb form meaning “to be allowed” or “permitted.” It functions as the passive voice of the verb izinkan, which means “to permit” or “to allow.” The underlying noun izin, meaning permission, contributes to the sense of authorization embedded in diizinkan. The construction di- indicates passive voice, and the root izinkan carries the idea of granting permission, so diizinkan literally conveys that permission has been granted by someone, often specified with a by-agent phrase using oleh.

In usage, diizinkan expresses that a person or action is authorized by an authority or duly constituted rule. It is commonly found in formal, administrative, or policy contexts, as well as in descriptive statements about access or conduct. Examples include: “Dia diizinkan masuk ke ruangan itu” (He/She is allowed to enter that room), “Karyawan diizinkan membawa laptop” (Employees are permitted to bring laptops). The phrase can also appear in signage or notices, though such contexts may prefer simpler formulations like sesuai izin atau tidak diizinkan.

Negation is formed as “tidak diizinkan,” meaning “not allowed” or “not permitted.” The term is closely related to other Indonesian expressions of permission, such as boleh (may/allowed) and diperbolehkan (permitted), with diizinkan emphasizing the aspect of authorization by an authority rather than general permission. In everyday speech, diizinkan may be used when referring to official permissions, while more informal settings might favor saying seseorang “boleh” melakukan sesuatu.
