How Do You Say Forbidden?

The word here is 'interdit'. It's pronounced an-tair-dee.

Stack that up against the harder, harsher sounding 'verbotten', (Ger) 'prohibido', (Sp) 'apachorevete' (Gr), 'interdetto' (It), and 'forbidden', and I think you have an interesting lesson in inter-linguistic onamatapoeia. Rather than having a prohibitive ring, interdit sounds sleek. Imminently sayable. Stylish even. Heck, it's a word you might enjoy uttering at least a couple times a day.
