☆  counter  反対する

============================

If you do something to counter an action or process, you do something which makes it less effective. I was looking online for some example sentences, but all I could find were sentences about kitchen counters and bar counters! Ha ha, a good adjective to describe that would be that my actions were “counterproductive.” In other words, it achieved the opposite result from the one I wanted, so as you can see, it’s similar to our verb, “counter.”

So here are some better sentence examples using the word counter as a verb:

The government needs to do something to counter the effects of rising prices.
We might be able to counter traffic congestion by persuading more people to use bikes or public transport.
“It’s not that simple!” he countered in a firm voice.

Can you use counter in a sentence?
