- Commonly followed by an infinitive or 'que' + subjunctive.
- Direct Translation
- To allow, to permit, to let.
- Core Concept
- Granting permission or authorization; enabling something to happen.
- Common Usage Scenarios
- Giving permission to individuals, stating rules (what is allowed/not allowed), enabling or facilitating an action.

- Subject + Permitir + Object + Infinitive
- This is the most straightforward structure for direct permission. Example: "Ella me permite usar su computadora." (She allows me to use her computer.)
- Subject + Permitir + Que + Subjunctive Clause
- Use this when the person or entity granting permission is distinct from the person or entity performing the action. Example: "El jefe permite que trabajemos desde casa." (The boss allows that we work from home.)
- Passive Voice
- Permitir can also be used in the passive voice, often with "se". Example: "No se permite comer en la biblioteca." (Eating is not allowed in the library.)
El encargado permite la entrada de visitantes solo con cita previa.
Nuestras políticas permiten flexibilidad en los horarios de trabajo.
- Public Signs and Notices
- Commonly found on signs indicating rules, such as "No se permite fumar" (No smoking allowed) or "Se permite el acceso con perros guía" (Guide dogs are allowed).
- Educational Settings
- Teachers and professors use it to grant permission for activities or the use of resources: "Permito el uso de calculadoras para este ejercicio." (I allow the use of calculators for this exercise.)
- Technology and Software
- Describing the functionalities of applications or devices: "La nueva versión permite la colaboración en tiempo real." (The new version allows for real-time collaboration.)

El reglamento de la piscina no permite correr cerca del agua.

- Incorrect Preposition Usage
- Using prepositions like 'a' or 'en' directly after permitir when followed by an infinitive. The correct form is usually permitir + infinitive or permitir + que + subjunctive.
- Confusing Infinitive and Subjunctive
- Using the infinitive when the subjunctive is required (when subjects differ) or vice versa. Remember: Permitir + infinitive (same subject), Permitir + que + subjunctive (different subjects).
- Direct Translation Errors
- Over-reliance on English sentence structures. For instance, translating "allow someone to do something" too literally without considering the Spanish grammatical requirements.
Incorrecto: El profesor permite a los estudiantes hablar.
Correcto: El profesor permite a los estudiantes hablar.
Incorrecto: Yo permito que tú hacer eso.
Correcto: Yo permito que tú hagas eso.
- Permitir vs. Dejar
- Permitir is generally more direct about granting permission. Dejar is often more informal and can also mean "to leave." Example: "El profesor permite el uso de calculadoras." vs. "El profesor me dejó usar la calculadora." (The teacher allowed me to use the calculator.)
- Permitir vs. Autorizar
- Autorizar is more formal and implies official approval or sanction. Permitir is broader and can be used in everyday situations. Example: "La ley permite la libertad de expresión." vs. "El gobierno autorizó la construcción del puente." (The government authorized the construction of the bridge.)
- Permitir vs. Consentir
- Consentir implies agreement and willingness, often after some deliberation or persuasion. Permitir is simply granting permission. Example: "Ella consintió en ayudarme." (She consented to help me.)
- Permitir vs. Posibilitar
- Posibilitar focuses on making something feasible or creating the conditions for it to happen, rather than the act of granting permission. Example: "La tecnología posibilita la comunicación instantánea." (Technology makes instant communication possible.)
Mi padre me dejó ir a la fiesta.
La junta directiva autorizó el nuevo proyecto.

よく混同される語
While often interchangeable, 'dejar' can also mean 'to leave' and is generally more informal than 'permitir'. 'Permitir' focuses more on the act of granting permission.
This is the direct antonym, meaning 'to prohibit' or 'to forbid'. It's important to distinguish between allowing something and forbidding it.
'Consentir' implies agreement and willingness, whereas 'permitir' is simply granting permission, which could be reluctant.
間違えやすい
Both verbs can mean 'to allow' or 'to let'.
<strong>Permitir</strong> is generally more formal and directly implies granting permission. <strong>Dejar</strong> is more versatile, can be informal, and also means 'to leave'. Context is key. Example: 'El policía <strong>permitió</strong> el paso' (The police officer allowed passage - formal). 'Mi amigo me <strong>dejó</strong> su libro' (My friend let me have his book - informal, or 'left me his book').
Ella me <strong>permite</strong> usar su coche. (She allows me to use her car - permission granted.) Ella me <strong>dejó</strong> su coche ayer. (She let me use her car yesterday - informal, or she left her car with me.)
It's the direct opposite of permitting.
<strong>Permitir</strong> means to allow, to give permission. <strong>Prohibir</strong> means to forbid, to not allow. They represent opposite actions regarding rules or actions.

El cartel <strong>permite</strong> entrar a los animales. vs. El cartel <strong>prohíbe</strong> entrar a los animales.
Both imply agreement or allowing something to happen.
<strong>Permitir</strong> is about granting permission, which can be passive or even reluctant. <strong>Consentir</strong> implies a more active agreement or willingness, often after some deliberation or persuasion. Example: 'El padre <strong>permite</strong> que su hijo vaya a la fiesta.' (The father allows his son to go to the party - maybe he's not thrilled but lets him.) vs. 'El padre <strong>consintió</strong> en que su hijo fuera a la fiesta.' (The father consented to his son going to the party - he agreed willingly.)
El profesor <strong>permite</strong> el uso de calculadoras. vs. El profesor <strong>consintió</strong> en que los alumnos usaran calculadoras.
Both mean to give permission.
<strong>Permitir</strong> is a general term for allowing. <strong>Autorizar</strong> is more formal and implies official sanction, legal approval, or authorization. Example: 'La ley <strong>permite</strong> la libertad de expresión.' (The law allows freedom of expression - general.) vs. 'El juez <strong>autorizó</strong> la redada.' (The judge authorized the raid - official sanction.)
El gerente <strong>permite</strong> el acceso. vs. El gerente <strong>autoriza</strong> el gasto.
Both can mean to enable or make possible.
<strong>Permitir</strong> focuses on the act of granting permission or allowing. <strong>Habilitar</strong> often means to make someone capable or qualified for something, or to enable a system/functionality. Example: 'Este curso te <strong>permite</strong> trabajar aquí.' (This course allows you to work here - permission.) vs. 'Este curso te <strong>habilita</strong> para trabajar aquí.' (This course qualifies/enables you to work here - capability.)

High
-
Using 'a' after 'permitir' when followed by an infinitive.
→
El profesor <strong>permite</strong> usar.
The verb 'permitir' is generally followed directly by the infinitive verb when the subject is the same or when referring to the action itself. Adding 'a' is incorrect in this context. Example: 'El guardia <strong>permite</strong> la entrada' is correct, not 'permite a la entrada'.
-
Using the infinitive when the subjunctive is needed.
→
Ella <strong>permite que</strong> tú <strong>vayas</strong>.
When 'permitir que' introduces a clause where the subject of the main verb ('ella') is different from the subject of the subordinate verb ('tú'), the subjunctive mood is required for the subordinate verb ('vayas').
-
Confusing 'permitir' with 'prohibir'.
→
Se <strong>permite</strong> fumar. / Se <strong>prohíbe</strong> fumar.
'Permitir' means to allow, while 'prohibir' means to forbid. They are antonyms, and using one when the other is intended changes the meaning completely. Pay attention to the context and the affirmative/negative nature of the statement.
-
Incorrect conjugation in different tenses.
→
Ayer, él <strong>permitió</strong>. Mañana, él <strong>permitirá</strong>.
Like all verbs, 'permitir' must be conjugated correctly according to the tense and subject. Forgetting to change the ending for past (preterite/imperfect) or future tenses is a common error.
-
Using 'permitir' when 'dejar' or 'autorizar' would be more appropriate.
→
Mi amigo me <strong>dejó</strong> su coche. / El director <strong>autorizó</strong> el proyecto.
While 'permitir' is versatile, 'dejar' is often preferred in informal contexts for 'to let', and 'autorizar' is used for formal or official permission. Using 'permitir' in every situation might sound slightly unnatural.
ヒント
Infinitive vs. Subjunctive
Remember the rule: If the subject of 'permitir' is the same as the subject of the action being allowed, use the infinitive (e.g., 'Yo permito jugar'). If the subjects are different, use 'que' + subjunctive (e.g., 'Ella permite que tú juegues').

チャレンジ
Try to create five original sentences using permitir, each with a different grammatical structure (e.g., infinitive, subjunctive, passive voice). Ensure each sentence clearly conveys the idea of allowing something.
語源
The Spanish verb 'permitir' originates from the Latin verb 'permittere', which is composed of 'per-' (meaning 'through' or 'thoroughly') and 'mittere' (meaning 'to send' or 'to let go'). The original sense was to let go through, to allow passage, or to let something proceed.
元の意味: To let go through, to allow to pass, to let go.
Romance language, derived from Latin.文化的な背景
When asking for or giving permission, especially in formal settings or with authority figures, politeness and respect are crucial in Spanish-speaking cultures. Using the formal 'usted' form and polite phrasing is often advisable.
In English-speaking cultures, 'allow' and 'permit' are common. 'Let' is often used in more informal contexts. The underlying concept of granting or withholding permission is universal, but the specific linguistic expressions and social customs surrounding it vary.

よくある質問
10 問Both 'permitir' and 'dejar' can mean 'to allow' or 'to let'. 'Permitir' is generally more formal and directly implies granting permission. 'Dejar' is often more informal, can also mean 'to leave', and sometimes implies a more passive allowance. For example, 'El profesor permite que los estudiantes salgan' (The teacher allows students to leave - formal) versus 'Mi amigo me dejó salir anoche' (My friend let me go out last night - informal).
You use the subjunctive mood after 'permitir que' when the subject doing the permitting is different from the subject performing the action being permitted. For example: 'Ella permite que tú hables.' (She allows you to speak.) Here, 'ella' permits, and 'tú' speaks. If the subjects are the same, you use the infinitive: 'Yo permito comer.' (I allow myself to eat.)
Not always. If 'permitir' is followed by a noun or pronoun that is the direct or indirect object of the action being allowed, and then the action itself, the action is usually in the infinitive. For example: 'El guardia permite el acceso a los visitantes.' (The guard permits visitor access.) However, if 'permitir' is followed by 'que' and a clause, the verb in that clause will be in the subjunctive mood (as explained above). Example: 'El guardia permite que los visitantes entren.' (The guard allows that visitors enter.)
Common phrases include 'No se permite...' (It is not allowed...), '¿Me permites?' (May I?), 'Permíteme...' (Allow me...), 'permitir el acceso' (to allow access), 'permitir el uso' (to allow the use), and 'permitir la entrada' (to allow entry).
Yes, it can be used in the passive voice, often with the impersonal 'se' construction. For example, 'No se permite fumar.' (Smoking is not allowed.) This is a very common way to state rules and prohibitions.
'Permitir' means to allow or grant permission, while 'prohibir' is its direct opposite, meaning to forbid or prohibit. They represent opposite actions regarding rules or permissions. For instance, 'Se permite el paso' means 'Passage is allowed', whereas 'Se prohíbe el paso' means 'Passage is prohibited'.
The preterite tense of 'permitir' is: yo permití, tú permitiste, él/ella/usted permitió, nosotros permitimos, vosotros permitisteis, ellos/ellas/ustedes permitieron. For example: 'Ella me permitió salir tarde.' (She allowed me to go out late.)
'Permitirse' is a reflexive verb meaning 'to afford' or 'to allow oneself' something, usually implying a luxury or something one doesn't normally do. For example: 'No puedo permitirme comprar ese coche.' (I cannot afford to buy that car.)
The main challenge is correctly using the infinitive versus the subjunctive after 'permitir que', depending on whether the subjects are the same or different. Also, distinguishing it from similar verbs like 'dejar', 'consentir', and 'autorizar' based on formality and nuance is important.
Yes, in some contexts, 'permitir' can imply making something possible or feasible, similar to 'posibilitar' or 'hacer posible'. For example: 'Esta tecnología permite la comunicación global.' (This technology allows/makes global communication possible.)
