willing to obey rules or people

Always doing what you are told to do by a person, rule, or law, without saying no.

Padron ng paggamit: [someone/something] is obedient to [someone/something]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners often say *obedient with* or *obedient of* instead of the correct preposition *obedient to*, as in: "Children should be obedient to their parents." Another mistake is confusing *obedient* with *polite* or *kind*; *obedient* specifically means doing what you are told or what rules say, not just being nice.
Mga kasingkahulugan
compliant (Often used in more formal or technical contexts, and can sound colder or more legal than 'obedient'.) | dutiful (Emphasizes a sense of duty and responsibility, often more positive and respectful than 'obedient'.) | docile (Suggests being quiet and easy to control, sometimes with a slightly negative sense of being too passive.)
Mga kasalungat
disobedient (Direct opposite, describing someone who does not do what they are told.) | rebellious (Stronger opposite, stressing active resistance against authority or rules.) | defiant (Opposite in attitude, stressing open refusal and challenge to authority.)
