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.
