不可

不可 means 'unacceptable' or 'not permissible.' It expresses a strong sense of prohibition or disapproval, often used to indicate that something is not allowed or should not be done.

The character 不 (bù) means 'not,' and 可 (kě) means 'can' or 'may.' Together, they form a negative construction that conveys the idea of something being impermissible or inappropriate.

不可 is commonly used in formal and informal contexts to express rules, moral judgments, or restrictions. It appears in phrases like 不可原谅 (bùkě yuánliàng, unforgivable) or 不可取 (bùkě qǔ, not advisable). Understanding its usage helps learners grasp how Chinese communicates prohibitions and ethical boundaries.
