proíbe

Proíbe is a Portuguese verb derived from the Latin word "prohibere," meaning to hold back or prevent. In modern Portuguese, it signifies the act of forbidding, prohibiting, or banning something. The verb is typically used in contexts where an authority, rule, or law prevents a specific action from occurring.

The conjugation of "proíbe" follows the irregular pattern of verbs ending in "-ir" in Portuguese. Its third-person singular present indicative form is "proíbe," as used in sentences like "O governo proíbe o uso de plástico descartável" (The government prohibits the use of single-use plastic). The past participle is "proibido," which can be used with auxiliary verbs to form compound tenses or as an adjective. For example, "O acesso foi proibido" (Access was prohibited).

"Proíbe" is a common verb used in legal documents, regulations, and everyday conversation to establish restrictions. It emphasizes the imposition of a negative command, indicating that something is not allowed. The implications of something being prohibited can range from minor inconvenconveniences to serious legal consequences, depending on the context and the entity issuing the prohibition.
