사용법

我慢 (gaman) refers to enduring hardship, pain, or difficult situations with patience and self-control. It's a highly valued concept in Japanese culture, emphasizing perseverance and stoicism. You'll hear it in contexts like:

  • 耐える (taeru): To bear, to endure. 「痛みを我慢する」 (itami o gaman suru) - to endure the pain.
  • 辛抱する (shinbou suru): To be patient, to persevere. 「我慢して待つ」 (gaman shite matsu) - to wait patiently.
  • 自制する (jisei suru): To control oneself. 「怒りを我慢する」 (ikari o gaman suru) - to control one's anger.

It can be used as a noun or as a suru-verb (我慢する).

자주 하는 실수

One common mistake is using 我慢 when a simpler word like 待つ (matsu) - to wait - is more appropriate. For example, instead of 「バスを我慢する」 (basu o gaman suru), which sounds like you're enduring the bus ride, you should say 「バスを待つ」 (basu o matsu) - to wait for the bus. 我慢 implies a greater degree of difficulty or discomfort that needs to be endured. Another mistake is to overuse it in situations where a more direct expression of inconvenience might be acceptable in English, but less so in Japanese culture, which values this concept highly.
