What word is this? Learning Chinese now, curious. Thanks.


You can figure it out with google translate. Traduce "made me" and "let me" from english to chinese.

I think it is 让.


Google Translate notwithstanding, I don't really feel like 讓 means 'make'. It feels much closer to 'allow, give permission, let'. 逼 seems closer to 'make' then 讓.


Yea, I asked because I don't know of any word in Chinese that met his description.


It's 让. I think 逼 is vicerally forceful, also meaning "press" (physically or metaphorically). I think you use 让 in most circumstances.
