Detailed explanation and example sentences

<div class='writeup-body'><span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='237'>に対（たい）する</span> and <span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='237'>に対（たい）して</span> are two grammar patterns in Japanese that are regularly used to show when (B) is 'opposed to' or 'in contrast with' (A). 対（たい）する itself is a verb meaning 'to oppose'. Although this feeling of 'opposition' may be negative, in most circumstances, it just means 'toward' in the sense of targeting something.<br><span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='237'>に対（たい）する</span> will be followed directly by a second noun, while <span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='237'>に対（たい）して</span> creates a pause in the sentence, before (B) will be explained in the second half of that sentence.<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>君（きみ）<span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='237'>に対（たい）する</span>気持（きも）ちは一生（いっしょう）変（か）わ<span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='888'>らない</span>。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>My feelings toward you will never change.</div></li><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>私（わたし）は店員（てんいん）<span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='237'>に対（たい）する</span>態度（たいど）<span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='10'>が</span>悪（わる）い人（ひと）<span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='10'>が</span>苦手（にがて）<span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='2'>です</span>。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>I don't like people who have a bad attitude towards store employees.
