zabraující

Zabraňující is a Czech word that functions as a present active participle. It translates to "preventing" or "obstructing" in English. The verb from which it is derived is "zabránit," meaning to prevent, hinder, or stop. As a participle, zabraňující modifies a noun or pronoun, describing an action that is currently in progress or that characterizes the subject. For example, "policie zabraňující zločinu" would mean "the police preventing crime." It can also be used in a more abstract sense, referring to something that acts as a barrier or obstruction. The word emphasizes the active role of preventing something from happening. It is grammatically distinct from the past participle or the infinitive form of the verb. Its usage is common in both spoken and written Czech, contributing to the descriptive capacity of the language by highlighting ongoing acts of prevention or obstruction.
