B2 Collocation ニュートラル

yüzleşmekten kaçınmak

to avoid confrontation

意味

To not want to face a problem

🌍

文化的背景

The concept of 'Face' (Yüz) is central to Turkish social honor. Avoiding confrontation is often a strategy to prevent 'yüzü kızarmak' (blushing/shame) for either party. Similar to Turkey, indirect communication is valued. Confrontation is often mediated by a third party to avoid the direct 'yüzleşmekten kaçınmak' dilemma. The concept of 'Honne' (true feelings) vs 'Tatemae' (public face) means that 'yüzleşmekten kaçınmak' is a standard social protocol to maintain harmony (Wa). In contrast, Western cultures often view 'yüzleşmekten kaçınmak' as a negative trait, preferring 'assertiveness' and 'directness'.

🎯

Use with 'Sürekli'

If someone always avoids confrontation, say 'Sürekli yüzleşmekten kaçınıyor' to emphasize it as a character flaw.

⚠️

Case Sensitivity

Never forget the '-ten' suffix. Saying 'yüzleşmek kaçınmak' sounds like 'face avoid' in English.

Softening the Blow
