kielletyt

Kielletyt is a Finnish word meaning “forbidden” or “prohibited.” It is the plural form of the adjective kielletty, which derives from the verb kieltää (“to forbid”) and the related noun kielto (“ban”). In Finnish, adjectives decline to agree with the nouns they modify, so kielletty becomes kielletyt when describing plural nouns. The term is used to indicate that something is not allowed by law, rule, or custom.

In everyday language and official contexts, kielletyt appears in phrases such as kielletyt ainekset (prohibited ingredients) or kielletyt toimet (prohibited activities), and in signs and regulations such as Pääsy kielletty (Access forbidden). Its plural form enables concise labeling of multiple prohibited items or areas, e.g., kielletyt alueet (forbidden areas) or kielletyt aineet in regulatory lists.

In Finnish culture and media, kielletyt can be used as a title or name for groups or works, reflecting the semantic weight of prohibition. However, there is no universally dominant work or entity known simply as Kielletyt, and use as a proper noun depends on context.
