How it's used

This term carries a strong sense of stubbornness or being unyielding, often implying that the person is holding onto a position or opinion despite pressure to change. It is frequently used in arguments or negotiations where one party refuses to budge. Unlike simply saying someone is firm, this implies a slightly negative or frustrated tone from the speaker.

Common phrases

to hold firmly onto something without letting go

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 拗撬, which refers to the act of arguing or quarrelling itself. 拗實 specifically describes the state of being stuck on an opinion or demand, whereas 拗撬 focuses on the conflict between two people.
