Creative Ways To Correctly Use “sakarau”, “tatetsuku” and “oshikiru”

Did you know what the meaning of “逆さからう(sakarau), 楯突たてつく(tatetsuku) and 押おし切きる(oshikiru)” is? They sound quite similar, however native speakers use them depending on the situation. When figuring out what their meaning is, why don’t you use these words to your friends, teachers or even bosses? Let me introduce how you use them depending on the situation, today!

逆さからう (sakarau)

Disobey

“逆さからう(sakarau)” means disobey, and basically, someone disobeys people or things. 逆さからう is often used for people that mean your parents, brothers, sisters, school teachers, boss and etc. And 逆さからう is used for things that mean “流ながれに逆さからって泳およぐ(to swim against the stream)”, “世間せけんの風潮ふうちょうに逆さからう(to swim against the tide) and etc, unlike 楯突たてつく.

Sample

yuka

社長しゃちょうの指示しじに逆さからったことなんて一回いっかいもないよー。 (I have never disobeyed an order from the president.) (一次也没反对过社长的指示。) (사장님 지시를 거스른 적은 한 번도 없어.) (Tôi chưa một lần nào làm trái chỉ thị của giám đốc.) (shachō no shiji ni sakaratta koto nante ikkai mo nai yo-.)

tatsuya

だいきが昨日きのう、父親ちちおやに逆さからったみたいだな。 (I’ve heard Daiki disobeyed his father.) (DAIKI昨天似乎和爸爸唱反调。) (다이키, 어제 아버지한테 대든 모양이네.) (Hình như hôm qua Daiki cãi lại bố mình đấy.) (Daiki ga kinō, chichioya ni sakaratta mitai dana.)

楯突たてつく (tatetsuku)

Rebellious / Against

Using “楯突たてつく(tatetsuku)” is the much stronger meaning than using 逆さからう and 楯突たてつく is only used for people or people’s opinions who are especially “powerful” people such as your company’s boss, CEO, police, politician and etc. So, you won’t be able to say “流ながれに楯突たてついて泳およぐ(to swim against the stream)”. Even though both 逆さからう and 楯突たてつく would be able to be used for people, using 楯突たてつく is much stronger. After 楯突たてつく(being rebellious) to your boss, you may have to quite your company, unlike 逆さからう. Only 逆さからう(disobey) to your boss, your salary might go down.

Sample

yuka

出世しゅっせのために上司じょうしに楯突たてつくことは、やめたほうがいいんじゃない？ (Why don’t you stop being rebellious against your boss for promoting?) (为了职业前途，以后还是不要顶撞上司了吧!) (출세를 위해 상사에게 반항하는 행동은 그만 두는 게 좋지 않을까?) (Để có thể thăng tiến tôi nghĩ cậu nên thôi chống lại cấp trên đi?) (shusse no tame ni jōshi ni tatetsuku koto wa, yameta hō ga ī n janai?)

tatsuya

楯突たてつくと後あとが怖こわいんじゃない？ (Aren’t you afraid what he/she might do in return after being rebellious?) (顶撞上司之后不会后怕吗？) (반항하면 그 후가 무섭지 않을까?) (Chống đối xong sau đó chẳng phải rất đáng sợ sao?) (tatetsuku to ato ga kowai n janai?)

押おし切きる (oshikiru)

Insist

“押おし切きる(oshikiru)” means that someone insists on his/her on his/her way which he/she decided. He/she might not have disobeyed people or people’s opinions or he/she didn’t want to disobey people however what he/she decided looked he/she disobeyed people or people’s opinions as a result such as to get married someone who his/her parents hate. In this case, the proper word is 押おし切きる. That is not 逆さからう and 楯突たてつく.

Sample

yuka

知しってる？あおいちゃんのお姉ねえちゃんが、反対はんたいを押おし切きって結婚けっこんするんだって。 (You know what? Aoi-chan’s sister insists on her own way and will get married.) (你知道吗？ Aoi的姐姐不顾大家的反对结婚了。) (그거 알아? 아오이네 언니, 반대를 무릅쓰고 결혼한대.) (Nghe gì chưa? Chị gái Aoi đã bất chấp sự phản đối để kết hôn đó.) (shitteru? Aoi-chan no onēchan ga, hantai wo oshikitte kekkon suru n datte.)
