forbuddet

Forbuddet is the definite form of the Danish noun forbud, meaning prohibition or ban. It refers to a specific prohibition that has been identified in a particular context, such as a law, regulation, or official order. The term is used when the prohibition is already known to the reader or has been previously stated in the text.

Etymology and grammar: Forbuddet is formed from the noun forbud with the definite suffix -det. It functions as a noun phrase indicating a single, concrete ban rather than the general concept of prohibition.

Usage: In legal and policy texts, forbuddet is employed to designate a particular restriction. Examples include references to the forbuddet mod salg af visse produkter, the forbuddet imod visse aktiviteter, or the forbuddet vedtaget af en myndighed. In public discourse, journalists and officials may speak of “forbuddet” to point to a specific ban that is under debate, in force, or being challenged in court.

Scope and applicability: The concept of forbuddet covers permanent prohibitions as well as temporary or situational bans, depending on the governing statute or regulation. It is not tied to a single policy area, but can apply to commerce, safety, health, environment, or social behavior, among others.
