How it's used

Focuses on the act of adjusting one's own preferences or plans to accommodate someone else's needs. It often carries a nuance of sacrificing personal comfort to maintain harmony in a relationship or social situation. While it can be a positive trait for conflict resolution, it is frequently used to describe a situation where someone is being taken advantage of or is being too passive.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 遷徙, which refers to moving or migrating. Also, avoid using it to mean simply 'agreeing' with someone, as it specifically implies a change or concession on your part to suit the other person.
