-masına yol verilməmək

No Allowance of an Action

Level 6

Used in formal documents to state that something (like a violation, error, or discrimination) must not be permitted or allowed to happen.

How It Works

The pattern -masına yol verilməmək is a cornerstone of the Azerbaijani 'official-business style' (rəsmi-işgüzar üslub). It is primarily found in the Constitution, legal codes, and formal regulations.

1. Structure:
The pattern is built as follows:

2. Usage and Nuance:
While the idiom yol vermək can be used with simple nouns (e.g., səhvə yol vermək - to make a mistake), this specific grammar entry focuses on its use with verbal nouns. This construction is used to prohibit an entire action or process rather than just a thing. It implies a systemic prevention, suggesting that the responsible party must ensure the condition never arises.

3. Active vs. Passive:
For advanced learners, it is important to note the active counterpart: yol vermək. In active contexts, it often means 'to commit' or 'to make' (e.g., cinayətə yol vermək - to commit a crime). The passive form yol verilməmək is used to create an objective, authoritative tone that applies generally rather than to a specific individual.

Examples (4)

  1. Qanunların pozulmasına yol verilməməlidir.

    The violation of laws must not be allowed.

    Word by Word: Laws-of being-violated-to way be-given-not-must.

    This example uses the verbal noun 'pozulma' (being violated) to state a formal prohibition against breaking the law.

  2. İnsan hüquqlarının məhdudlaşdırılmasına yol verilməməsi dövlətin əsas vəzifəsidir.

    The prevention of the restriction of human rights is the primary duty of the state.

    Word by Word: Human rights-of restriction-to way be-given-not-its state-of main duty-is.

    Here, the pattern is used as a noun phrase (yol verilməməsi) to describe the concept of 'prevention' or 'non-allowance'.

  3. Məxfi məlumatların yayılmasına yol verilməməsi üçün təhlükəsizlik tədbirləri gücləndirildi.

    Security measures were strengthened to prevent the spread of confidential information.

    Word by Word: Confidential information-of spreading-to way be-given-not-its for security measures strengthened-was.

    This shows the pattern used within a purpose clause to indicate the prevention of an action (spreading information).

  4. Vətəndaşların hüquqlarının tapdalanmasına yol verilməməlidir.

    The trampling of citizens' rights must not be allowed.

    Word by Word: Citizens-of rights-of being-trampled-to way be-given-not-must.

    This uses the passive verbal noun 'tapdalanma' to emphasize that the infringement of rights is strictly prohibited.

Common Mistakes

  • Using the accusative case instead of the dative case.

    Qanun pozuntusunu yol verilməməlidir.
    Qanun pozuntusuna yol verilməməlidir.

    The verb 'yol vermək' (and its passive form) always requires the dative case (-a/-ə) for the object being allowed or prevented.

  • Choosing between 'yol verilmir' and 'icazə verilmir'.

    Different MeaningBurada siqaret çəkilməsinə yol verilmir.
    Burada siqaret çəkilməsinə icazə verilmir.

    'Burada siqaret çəkilməsinə yol verilmir' is a good, formal sentence, the kind of wording you see on notices. 'İcazə verilmir' says the same thing in plainer words. Use 'yol verilmir' for an official ban and 'icazə verilmir' for everyday permission.
