示談
Readingじだんjidan
- Meaning
- 争いを裁判によらず話し合いで解決すること
- Explanation
- 「示談(じだん)」 means resolving a dispute not through a trial but through discussion between the parties involved, used as in 「示談が成立する」 (a settlement is reached). In contrast to c4's 'have the court hand down a judgment,' the core point is reaching a settlement outside of court. Rather than c2's 'imposing it one-sidedly,' it refers to a resolution by mutual agreement of both parties.
- Examples
- 示談が成立する
Original Japanese explanation
「示談(じだん)」は争いごとを裁判によらず当事者間の話し合いで解決することで、「示談が成立する」のように使う。c4の「判決を裁判所に下してもらう」とは対照的に、裁判外で和解する点が核心。c2の「一方的に押し付ける」のではなく、双方の合意による解決を指す。
