Вам нельзя входить.
"посторонним вход воспрещен", if it's for door sign or something similar

Olya, ST and Ramil,
Thank you very much for your explanations!
For example, the door is broken so physically impossible to enter.
In this case can I say "Нельзя вам войти." ?
you would say не можете (т.е. дверь сломана) мочь is what normally indicates some physical impossibility
"Нельзя вам войти" is a wrong word order if your intonation is neutral.Quote:

Войти нельзя.
Туда нельзя войти.
Туда нельзя попасть.
Another variants are possible too, depending on the wider context...
"Войти нельзя." means "physically impossible" only or it may mean "not allowed to enter" as well?Quote:

Nope.Quote:

In this situation you can say:
Вам (туда) не войти.
It is again a theoretical situation, but if you say
Вам туда не пролезть or Вы туда не пройдёте - you'll be fairly close.
Пройти means to come through while войти means to enter. So in this situation use пройти since you mean 'You won't come through'.
I'd say "вы не пройдёте" too.
"Нельзя входить" can mean physical impossiblity ( because the door is locked etc.) as well?
Есть стандартная фраза "Проход закрыт".Quote:
