    (Compound Particle Counterparts to the Particle にたいして)

 

たいして: Targets of Non-physical Actions, Emotions, and Attitudes

 

e.g.,

あなたは 親に対して 冷たいです。(Anata wa oya ani taishite tsumetai desu.)

(Topic/Subject) (Target of Attitude) (Pridicate)

You are cool toward your parents.

 

姉(あね)はいつも妹(いもうと)に対(たい)して怒(おこ)っています。

(Ane wa itsumo imouto nitaishite okotte imasu.)

The elder sister is always angry at the younger sister.

 

失敗(しっぱい)に対(たい)して責任(せきにん)を感(かん)じています。

(Shippai ni taishite sekinin wo kanjiteimasu.)

I feel responsibility for the failure.

 

サービスに関(かん)して不安(ふあん)があります。

(Sa-bisu ni kanshite huan ga arimasu.)

I have complaints about your service.

 

In passive sentences, the particle に makes ambiguous sentences. The particle に can indicate doers and targets while に対して indicates only targets. Thus, when it comes to passive sentences, it’s better to use に対して to clarify targets.
