Completely unacceptable; so bad or inappropriate that one cannot tolerate or accept it.

The word is made up of the prefix 'in-' and the adjective 'akzeptabel' (acceptable). The prefix 'in-' here means 'not', so something is 'inakzeptabel' (unacceptable) if it cannot be accepted.

To emphasize strong disapproval, 'inakzeptabel' (unacceptable) is often combined with adverbs such as 'völlig' (completely), 'absolut' (absolutely), or 'gänzlich' (entirely).

impossible
Unmöglich and inakzeptabel can both be used to judge behavior as completely inappropriate. Inakzeptabel is the more neutral term for something that cannot be tolerated, while unmöglich often expresses a stronger personal condemnation. Use inakzeptabel for an objective assessment and unmöglich for a clearly indignant reaction.
