A phrase for off-limits?

Question

I'm looking for a phrase that I can use to tell someone that he is not allowed to date my daughter. I want to say something to the effect of "she is off-limits". I just found out a 25 year old man at work wants me to introduce him to my 16 year old daughter. He needs to know I'm very serious.

Sorry, my computer froze and posted before I was ready. All I could come up with is: Mi hija está fuera de límites and I'm not sure if that would carry the same meaning as I intend. - Purplcat, Jun 25, 2015

Tell him 'ni se te ocurra' with serious face and he won't ask you anymore :) - Pablo064, Jun 26, 2015

Answer 1

"Si trata de salir con mi hija, voy a matarte." That's what my father would have said in that situation.

Yeah! Exactly! - Purplcat, Jun 26, 2015

Answer 2

I suggest that she is "prohibida" -- but to make your point extra clear, you might want to say it a few different ways, including your "fuera de límites," "de acceso prohibido," and "una zona vedada para ti."

Great, I think I will use all of those just so he understands. He's a nice guy, but he is much too old for her! - Purplcat, Jun 26, 2015

Answer 3

I decided to make sure he understood this went for both of my daughters so I texted: Mis hijas esta fuera de limites. De acceso prohibido, una zona vedada para todos los hombres de trabajo. I'm not sure it's entirely right but I'm certain it made my point. I was at the job site today and he was looking very sheepish.

Good for you, Purplcat. :):) - rac1, Jun 27, 2015
