What's the difference between 逼, 迫, and 逼迫? Do 逼, 迫, and 逼迫 all carry the same connotation of &quot;to force&quot;? Is there a difference?

If there's a difference, when should you use each one?

Which is the most common to use in speaking and writing?

Is there a difference between Cantonese and Mandarin?

  逼迫: to force;to compel;to press


逼迫(approach and forcefully press) = 'to force/ to compel/ to press' 

It is a compound word 

逼 and 迫 are very similar, but there are subtle difference


逼: by approach extremely close, you are in effect pressing the object
迫: by forcefully pressing, you are extremely close to the object


In my experience, many people use 逼 and 迫 interchangeably

I have no problem with people using 逼 or 迫 for 'press' as in '逼切/'迫切 (pressingly close = urgent) 

But I object using 迫 instead of 逼 for 'approach' as in '颱風逼近' (typhoon approaching) 


  Do they all carry the same connotation of “to force?”



迫 and 逼迫 mean 'to force' directly
逼 means 'to force' by extended meaning  (approaching --> pressing --> forcing)


Cantonese only use 迫 or 逼 for 'to force'. 
We do not use the term 逼迫
