使い分け解説:
- 黙認: To implicitly approve or allow something by not openly opposing it, even if one knows it's happening and might not officially sanction it. It often suggests a passive acceptance, sometimes of something improper.
- 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.)
