使い分け解説:
- 諾否: 承諾するか否か、許可するかしないか、という両方の選択肢をまとめて指す硬い言葉。ビジネスシーンなどで使われることが多いです。(A formal term that collectively refers to both options: consent or refusal, approval or disapproval. Often used in business settings.)
- 内諾: Refers to an unofficial or preliminary agreement or consent, often given verbally or informally, before formal approval is granted. It implies a kind of 'internal' or 'private' understanding.
