Kanji in daily life 2

Hello there!! こんにちは! After a while without posting I've decided to give continuity to the kanjis series.

Today we'll learn the kanjis in the following sign:


The kanjis on the sign are:
(kami): paper in the word はり紙(harigami): placard
禁止(kinshi): prohibition

Which means this sign says "placards forbidden".

One can also see the word 「禁止」in the following kanji combinations:

駐車禁止(chuusha kinshi) : No parking
飲酒運転禁止(inshu kinshi): No drinking when driving
禁止命令(kinshi meirei): Injunction
禁止装置(kinshi souchi): Prohibitive measures
禁止地帯(kinshi chitai): Prohibition zone

Well, I hope you learned lots of used words and bear in mind 「挫折禁止」(zasetsu kinshi): Giving up is forbidden!!!
