tilalom

Tilalom is a Hungarian noun meaning prohibition or ban. It denotes a formal or informal condition that a specific action or situation is not allowed. In legal and administrative language, tilalom is used to designate official prohibitions issued by authorities, such as a temporary fishing tilalom, a traffic tilalom, or a construction site tilalom. It can refer to a prohibition order, a prohibition period, or a zone subject to restrictions. The term commonly appears in phrases such as "tilalmat elrendeltek" (a prohibition has been issued), "tilalmi zóna" (restricted/prohibited zone), and "tilalmi időszak" (period of prohibition). In everyday speech, tilalom can also express moral, religious, or social taboos, not just legal mandates.

Tilalom is related to other Hungarian terms: tiltás (the act of forbidding), tilos (not allowed), and engedély (permit). The concept underscores the relationship between what is forbidden and what is permissible under law or rule. In many contexts, tilalom is temporary and subject to exemptions, conditions, or appeals.
