Meaning

Primary

To Be Accompanied By

Alternatives

To Preside Over, To Subdue

Word Type

transitive verb, ichidan verb

Explanation

This word consists of kanji with hiragana attached. Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb.

The kanji itself means obey, and this verb is transitive, so some of its meanings refer to when you make someone obey you, or in other words to preside over or to subdue. Depending on the context though, it often just means to be accompanied by someone. To help you remember this, imagine that everyone you're accompanied by obeys you!

Reading

したがえる

Explanation

Since this word has okurigana (hiragana attached to the kanji) you know that it's probably going to be the kun'yomi reading. You already learned this reading with 従う. Remember it?

Context
