Example Word

訴える: sue or appeal. The Japanese verb '訴える (うったえる)' has two distinct meanings. The first meaning is 'to sue', which refers to taking legal action against someone in court. For example: he sued the company for damages「彼は損害賠償を求めて会社を訴えた」(かれはそんがいばいしょうをもとめてかいしゃをうったえた). The second meaning is 'to appeal', which refers to making a strong emotional or logical request or plea. For example: she appealed to the audience for support「彼女は観客に支援を訴えた」(かのじょはかんきゃくにしえんをうったえた). The verb can also be used in contexts where someone is expressing a strong feeling or complaint, such as pain or dissatisfaction. For example: he complained of severe pain「彼は激しい痛みを訴えた」(かれははげしいいたみをうったえた).
