Verb conjugation: prohibitive

The prohibitive form is a strong (and impolite!) way of telling someone to not to do something. For example:

りんごをべるな!
Do not eat the apple!

This form is often used on warning labels, e.g. on laundry detergent bottles telling you not to drink their contents (even if the liquid inside looks tasty!). You can roughly think of it as the inverse of the imperative form.
