<< review queue entry 71079 - submitted by 'cws' >> https://youdao.com/example/blng/eng/答应/#keyfrom=dict.main.moreblng https://mandarintemple.com/dictionary/chinese-to-english/hsk-5/答应-da1-ying5/ to promise to agree to reply to respond https://translate.google.com/?sl=zh-CN&tl=en&text=答应&op=translate promise agree answer comply with respond reply https://www.netflix.com/watch/81465707?t=5903.903922#:~:text=我答应你我不会变成超级坏人尝试杀你 Etymology-wise, 答应 is 'to answer/agree'. Looking at some references though, the vernacular use of 答应 is generally 'to promise'. On 答应, if vernacular > etymology and if my searches on vernacular use of 答应 is correct, 'to promise' can be put first: /to promise/to answer; to respond; to answer positively/to agree; to accept/ Otherwise, you may keep or improve the definitions grouping I've made The usages of 答应 on following videos is not 'to promise' though, I think it's because there are no two people talking to eacher other, most of the videos of 答应 on youglish are narrating/presenting something, the usages of 答应 here are mostly 'to answer/agree/accept': https://youglish.com/pronounce/答应/chinese/cn ------------------------------------------ Editor: Look up the Change Log and you will find that 1) When we wrote the current definition, we intended that it should be read as having *two* senses, not three. 2) We feel that "promise" is a word that "works" in some contexts, but is not really what 答应 *means*. In other words, we included it somewhat reluctantly. https://cc-cedict.org/editor/editor.php?log_id=65182&return=ListChanges&handler=ViewLogEntry Also, see New Age C-E Dict, whose definition is 1. to answer; reply; respond 2. to agree; promise; comply with (i.e. "promise" is grouped with "agree" and "comply") These two New Age senses correspond to the two senses defined in Guifan Cidian: ①应声回答。 ②允许；同意。 One other thing: "answer positively" is meant to imply agreement, so that gloss is grouped in the 2nd sense. |
