Explanation and Etymology - (いけない) ikenai
The word "いけない" is a Japanese expression that can be translated as "cannot be done", "is not allowed" or "not acceptable". It is formed by the junction of the characters "いけ" (pronounced "ike"), which means "go" or "walk", and "ない" (pronounced "nai"), which is a denial. The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the expression "行けぬ" (pronounced "Iken") was used to indicate something that could not be done or that was forbidden. Over time, the pronunciation was abbreviated to "いけない", which is the most common form today. The word is often used in situations where someone made a mistake or did something they should not have done, as in "いけををし" (pronounced "ikenai koto wo shita"), which means "I did something wrong" ( . It can also be used to indicate that something is unacceptable or inadequate, as in "この服いけいけ" (pronounced "kono fuku wa ikenai"), which means "this clothes is not suitable".How to Write in Japanese - (いけない) ikenai
