Synonyms & antonyms
  • Synonym主張しゅちょうNeutralAsserting an opinion or stance you hold; a noun, also used with する. 「申し立てる」 centers on formally lodging objections or applications.
  • Synonym述べるのべるNeutralThe most general verb for stating or expressing something; 「申し立てる」 adds the formal flavor of petitioning or appealing to an authority.
  • Synonym陳述ちんじゅつWrittenWritten legal term for stating facts or one's assertions, as in testimony; 「申し立てる」 is the act of formally raising a matter.
  • Synonym言い立てるいいたてるNeutralTakes up points one by one and insists on them, often with a noisy, clamorous tone; 「申し立てる」 is more formal and usually directed at an authority.
  • Synonym申し述べるもうしのべるFormalFormal humble language for stating or telling; unlike 「申し立てる」 it carries no nuance of lodging an objection or petition.
  • Related表明ひょうめいWrittenWritten style: clearly showing an attitude or decision to others, as in 「辞意を表明」; it declares a stance rather than filing a claim.
  • Related申し上げるもうしあげるFormalHumble word for saying or telling someone something; it covers general polite speech and is not specifically about filing claims.
  • Related申し出るもうしでるNeutralComing forward on one's own with an offer, request or application, as in 「協力を申し出る」; 「申し立てる」 is raised to an authority.
  • Related弁じ立てるべんじたてるWrittenWritten and rare: to talk fluently and at length; it has none of the formal petitioning sense of 「申し立てる」.
  • Antonym撤回するWrittenWritten word for withdrawing or retracting something already filed or stated — the opposite of raising a matter with 「申し立てる」.

Use 「申し立てる」 to formally file an objection, application or appeal with a court or office, as in 「異議を申し立てる」. To volunteer or offer something, say 「申し出る」; for plain stating, 「述べる」; to withdraw a claim, 「撤回する」. 「表明」 and 「陳述」 are written words, 「申し述べる」 and 「申し上げる」 are humble, and 「言い立てる」 suggests insistent, item-by-item complaining.
