COMMON COLLOCATIONS:

  • ()()って(かんが)える: to think about it pragmatically
  • ()()った態度(たいど): a detached attitude
  • ()()れない気持(きも)ち: feelings that can't be resolved rationally
  • 仕事(しごと)()()る: to accept it as just work

USAGE:
The negative form ()()れない is very common and expresses unresolved or conflicted feelings — an inability to process something purely through logic. Often appears in emotional contexts like breakups, loss, or ethical dilemmas.

SIMILAR WORDS:

  • (あきら)める: to give up — implies resignation, while ()()る suggests a conscious rational decision
  • ()()れる: to accept — broader and more neutral; ()()る specifically emphasizes the rational/pragmatic aspect
