Prohibir is a Spanish verb that means “to prohibit” or “to forbid.” Here are some tips to remember this word:

– One way to remember “prohibir” is to break it down into two parts: “pro” and “hibir.” The prefix “pro” usually indicates a negative or opposing action, and “hibir” derives from the Latin word “habēre,” which means “to have.” So, “prohibir” can be thought of as “to have a negative action or opposition to something.”
– Another tip is to associate “prohibir” with the English word “prohibition,” which also denotes the act of forbidding.
