Russian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Borrowed from Old Church Slavonic въспрѣщати (vŭsprěštati). By surface analysis, воспрет- (vospret-) +‎ -я́ть (-játʹ).

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA(key): [vəsprʲɪˈɕːætʲ]

Verb[edit]

воспреща́ть (vospreščátʹimpf (perfective воспрети́ть)

  1. to forbid, to prohibit (with person being prohibited in dative case)

Usage notes[edit]

The verb воспреща́ть (vospreščátʹ) is often described as dated, while воспреща́ться (vospreščátʹsja) and the past passive participle of воспрети́ть (vospretítʹ) are still often used and hold a firmer, more official meaning than запреща́ться (zapreščátʹsja) and the past passive participle of запрети́ть (zapretítʹ), connoting a more inviolable rule that cannot be questioned.
