Scoobyqueen Posted June 10, 2008 at 02:22 PM Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 at 02:22 PM Is there a difference between 依靠 and 凭. From the text I have been reading they seem to be synonyms but it could just be that 凭 was less common. Alternatively, it is possible that if there is a difference the 凭 is more used for scientific or verifiable facts. If anyone can comment on this question, I would be grateful. Thank you in advance.

It is much more of a direct, emotional, physical or material dependence. 凭, from its origin, depicts a 'some giant watch out its back' sort of dependence. It is much more of indirect, legal, logical or obligatory dependence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
