    Example Word

    甘える: depend. The Japanese verb '甘える (あまえる)' means 'to depend on' or 'to take advantage of someone's kindness'. It often carries a nuance of seeking affection, indulgence, or special treatment, typically from someone close, like a parent, partner, or friend. It can be used in both positive and negative contexts, depending on the situation. For example: she depends on her mother「彼女は母親に甘える」(かのじょはははおやにあまえる). He took advantage of my kindness「彼は私の優しさに甘えた」(かれはわたしのやさしさにあまえた). The verb is commonly used to describe behavior that seeks emotional or practical support, often in a way that might be seen as childish or endearing.
