What about the cases where you are kept from doing something, that you are still able of doing? "My father's stories kept me from drinking alcohol, even though I wanted to try, like all my friends did." I don't think the sense here is that the stories made it impossible for the person to drink. Instead, they caused a certain desicion. Dec 19, 2016 at 6:47

This answer has been edited but there are still some issues with it. It would be better to say malhelpi al iu -- but that doesn't mean quite the same thing as keeping someone from doing something. It only means that doing it would become more difficult. Dec 20, 2016 at 15:08

At the time I'm leaving this comment, it looks like this answer has been edited again. It's standing at -1, and in the current version looks essentially the same as my own answer, so I suppose I should vote it up (to 0). Jan 23, 2017 at 13:17
