zabronionych

Zabronionych is a Polish word form derived from the verb zabronić, meaning to prohibit or forbid. It functions as a participial adjective and, in its base form zabroniony, conveys the sense that something is forbidden. The ending zabronionych is used for multiple grammatical cases in plural form.

In practical use, zabronionych most often appears as the plural genitive or accusative form of zabroniony, and can also serve as the locative plural form. This makes it common in phrases such as lista zabronionych (a list of prohibited items or persons) or o zabronionych (about the prohibited). The construction indicates that the referenced items, actions, or individuals are not allowed by law, regulation, or policy.

Etymology and context: zabronionych comes from zabronić plus the participial suffix (-ony-), yielding an adjective meaning forbidden. It appears primarily in formal or regulatory language—legal texts, administrative documents, regulatory announcements—as well as in journalism or everyday speech when describing prohibited objects, activities, or groups. It is not a standalone noun, but a declined form used to modify nouns in the appropriate case and number.
