Synonyms & antonyms
  • Relatedはじき出すはじきだすNeutralFlicks or knocks things out, or pushes people out of a group; also used for calculating. The focus is on expelling, not on thrusting down like 「突き落とす」.
  • Antonym引き上げるひきあげるNeutralPulls people or things upward, or raises figures such as taxes; its upward movement is the opposite of 「突き落とす」 pushing down.
  • Antonym持ち上げるもちあげるNeutralLifts things up by hand and, figuratively, flatters or praises someone; the opposite direction from 「突き落とす」, which pushes things down.

Choose 「突き落とす」 when someone is forcefully pushed down, literally or into a desperate state as in 「絶望の淵に突き落とす」. 「はじき出す」 is for flicking things away or excluding people; the opposites 「引き上げる」 and 「持ち上げる」 move things up instead.
