kielletyn

Kielletyn is the genitive singular form of the Finnish adjective kielletty, meaning forbidden or prohibited. The word is used to describe actions, objects or rules that are not allowed. It is derived from the verb kieltää (to forbid) and the past passive participle kielletty.

In Finnish, adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify. When used with a noun in the genitive case, kielletty becomes kielletyn, as in kielletyn elokuvan katsominen (watching the forbidden film).

Usage examples: "Tupakointi on kielletty" (Smoking is forbidden). "Kielletyn elokuvan katsominen on kielletty" (Watching the forbidden film is prohibited). The genitive form appears in phrases like "kielletyn alueen" (of the forbidden area). The word is common in signs, legislation and policy summaries.

Etymology and grammar: kielletty is derived from the verb kieltää and functions as a past passive participle used as an adjective. Finnish adjectives exhibit extensive inflection, with genitive singular commonly forming as -n, yielding kielletyn. Plural forms include kielletyt (nominative plural) and kiellettyjä (partitive plural).
