诉
sù
to complain
to sue; to tell
speech (讠) + reprimand (斥) = to complain, sue, or tell
斥 carries the sense of reprimanding or pushing away — combined with the speech radical, the character evokes forceful, directed words: a complaint, an accusation, or a formal telling. The mouth is open, and the tone is urgent.
她向妈妈诉说了自己的烦恼。
tā xiàng māma sù shuō le zìjǐ de fánnǎo。
She told her mother about her own worries.

tā juédìng qù fǎyuàn qǐsù nà jiā gōngsī。
