सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The concept of 'Amae' makes 'onedari' a positive social interaction that confirms a close bond. Independence is highly valued, so 'begging' (even cutely) can sometimes be seen as immature or manipulative. 'Onedari' is a trope for 'imouto' (little sister) characters to show their cuteness. Japanese pet owners frequently use 'onedari' to describe their pets' behavior, humanizing them.
The 'Amae' Connection
If you want to sound more natural, use 'onedari' when you are clearly the one being taken care of in the relationship.
Age Matters
An adult using 'onedari' too much can be seen as 'burikko' (someone who acts fake-cute). Use it sparingly!
