Ask questions or just talk about different languages. Since BrainKing is an international game site supporting many languages, this board can be kind of useful.

Since we will be dealing with pronunciation of words rather than their spelling, I think it's useful to have a link to The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet.

Hi! Great board!

here is my attempt to explain...


banned....to legally take away a right

prohibited...to forbid by authority

forbidden....to command someone not to do something

prevented.....to stop something from happening (usually to stop something bad from happening)

disallowed.....to not allow something

unpermitted....never heard of this!! we say 'not permitted' and that is similar to disallow


1. banned
2. prohibited
3. not permitted
4. permitted

Lamby: I'd agree with you in all but the second. My first intinct would be that Smoking is strictly forbidden on underground trains in London.
But then again, I'm not an expert in proper english grammar ;)

pauloaguia: I agree with Lamby. I think it should be 'prohibited' since it was forbidden by the authority of the city of London. Great post, Lamby, BTW...thanks for that.:)

Pedro Martínez: I won't rebate it, after all my English comes mostly from the movies ;). My answer just sounds better to me that's all.
Or maybe it's just another one of those british/american things and Smoking is prohibited in London and forbidden in New York?

Onderwerp: Re:
pauloaguia: Then again, googling on the subject I found both versions. Though the word prohibited shows up in 90% of the cases vs about 10% for forbidden
