refuse

Reddetmek (bir istek veya talep).

Nasıl kullanılır

In formal or professional settings, refuse is often used to decline a request or demand politely, whereas in informal contexts, it may be used more bluntly. For example, 'I refuse to accept this offer' is a more formal way of saying 'I'm not interested in this offer.' A common learner mistake is to use refuse instead of decline in situations where a more polite response is required. For instance, 'I refuse to go to the party' sounds more negative than 'I decline your invitation to the party.'
