Yes your example sound very well, thank you for your support.


Damn diabetes, I hate it, I never will know.

Why my soon got it in the childhood.

I don't have words for you, Crotalito. I don't think there are words for such situation . But there are many people with this illness and I think they can do a normal life with medical treatment. The important thing is his quality of life, you must give him the best.

A kiss for your son.

I think you should be very careful in thinking that de- will mean an opposite. Sometimes it does, but usually does not, and this applies in English as well. It comes from Latin de, but takes on different meanings: of, from, away, thoroughly, completely

Examples:
Negación vs. denegación (de not opposite)
Decapitate, decapitar: de = from, away from
Deliberate, deliberar: de = completely, + librare to weigh
Derretir: de = completely + (obsolete) retir to melt
Demented, demente: de = without + mens mind
Demandar: de = completely + mandare to entrust
Demorar: de = completely + morari to delay

This is different to dis- des- which can mean opposite or not (unless from Greek dys- = bad)

Examples:
dis-gustar
des-baratar
des-ayunar
des-calzo

I find as a rule, it is best not to guess that de- as a prefix might mean something. Perhaps someone else can give better advice.

You are welcome, but perhaps you should wait and see whether pjt or anyone else has something to add - they may disagree!

It can be said like: "...una prohibición de fumar en los restaurantes."


En las matemáticas, es importante a saber cómo hacer una negación de una frase.

"Denegación" is not that common.

Me denegaron el permiso que solicité para abrir un negocio.
I was denied the permit to open a new business.

A common one from computers:
Access denied.
Acceso denegado.

Juan solicitó una licencia de matrimonio, pero encontraron que tiene otra esposa y se la denegaron.
Juan requested a marriage licence, but they found he had another wife and it was denied.

The interesting thing about your examples is that "denegación" is not used as a noun. That what I was going for. But since you say it's not too common, then I'd just use other, synonymous words instead. THANKS!
