multiple choice C2

Which of the following best conveys the idea of giving permission for something to happen, even if it's reluctantly?

Correct ! Pas tout à fait. Rponse correcte : sallia

'Sallia' often implies a more formal or somewhat reluctant granting of permission, as opposed to 'antaa lupa' (give permission) which is more neutral, 'suostua' (agree to) which implies willingness, or 'myöntyä' (assent to) which suggests yielding to a request.

multiple choice C2

In a legal context, if a regulation 'sallii' a certain action, what does it primarily mean?

Correct ! Pas tout à fait. Rponse correcte : It permits the action without making it obligatory.

In legal language, 'sallia' means to allow or authorize, making an action permissible but not compulsory. It contrasts with prohibiting or mandating.

multiple choice C2

Which sentence correctly uses 'sallia' to imply a concession or toleration rather than enthusiastic approval?

Correct ! Pas tout à fait. Rponse correcte : Hän sallii lasten leikkiä meluisasti vain pakon edessä. (He allows the children to play loudly only under duress.)

The phrase 'vain pakon edessä' (only under duress) clearly indicates that the allowance is a concession or toleration, not enthusiastic approval, which aligns with a nuanced understanding of 'sallia'.

true false C2

If a rule 'ei salli' something, it means that action is strictly forbidden.

Correct ! Pas tout à fait. Rponse correcte : Vrai

'Ei salli' directly translates to 'does not allow' or 'does not permit', indicating a prohibition. It's a clear negation of permission.

true false C2

The verb 'sallia' can always be interchangeably replaced with 'hyväksyä' (to approve) without altering the nuance of permission.

Correct ! Pas tout à fait. Rponse correcte : Faux

'Sallia' means to permit or allow, while 'hyväksyä' means to approve or accept. While related, 'hyväksyä' often implies a stronger endorsement or agreement than simply 'sallia', which can be more about non-prevention.

true false C2

When one 'sallii' something, it always implies that the action is actively encouraged.

Correct ! Pas tout à fait. Rponse correcte : Faux

'Sallia' indicates permission or tolerance, but not necessarily active encouragement. One can permit something to happen without actively promoting or encouraging it.
