förbjuder

förbjuder is the present tense form of the Swedish verb "förbjuda". It translates to "forbids" or "prohibits" in English. The verb "förbjuda" is used to indicate that something is not allowed, either by law, rule, or authority.

For example, a sign might say "Rökning förbjuder" meaning "Smoking is prohibited". This indicates that the act of smoking is against the rules in that specific location. Similarly, a government might enact legislation that "förbjuder" certain activities deemed harmful or undesirable. The word carries a strong sense of restriction and prohibition.

The verb can be used in various contexts. It can refer to official bans, such as those imposed by law, or to more informal prohibitions, like a parent telling a child they "förbjuder" them to eat candy before dinner. The core meaning remains consistent: to make something unlawful or impermissible. Understanding "förbjuder" is essential for comprehending statements about restrictions and regulations in Swedish.
