Explanation and Etymology - (強請る) nedaru
The word 「強請る」 (nedaru) is a Japanese expression that refers to the act of asking for something persistently or pleading for something in a somewhat bothersome and persistent manner. This word is often associated with a request that may be seen as annoying or intrusive for the person being asked. In the Japanese cultural context, where respect and politeness are essential, this type of insistence can be perceived as unpleasant in social situations.
Etymologically, 「強請る」 is composed of two kanji: 「強」 (kyou), which means "strong" or "to force," and 「請」 (sei), which means "request" or "solicitation." Together, these characters create the idea of a request made with strength or insistence. Although the reading of the kanji does not follow the obvious pronunciation (as is common in many Japanese words), the term suggests an action of pressing someone to grant a request.
In its daily use, the word 「ねだる」 (written in hiragana) is more common, especially in informal contexts or when speaking with children. It is important to note that the choice of vocabulary in the Japanese language is directly influenced by the level of formality of the situation. Thus, while 「強請る」 can be used in more written or formal contexts, 「ねだる」 appears more frequently in everyday conversations.
