Can someone explain the form of the verb 振 in this sentence?
彼はやり方が強引だが、暴力を振るわない だけましです 。
I don’t understand 振るわない.
…Maybe it should be は?
If it is, is it being used like this, “at least”?

@FredKore Hey! In this case, 振るう is a verb meaning “to exercise,” “to wield,” “to exhibit,” or “to display” violence. So, this example sentence is probably closer to “You should be glad that he does not exhibit violence in his (overbearing) way of doing things.” Cheers!

Oh!! I was thinking 振る. What a weird verb. Good vocab word though.
Thanks for the explanation!
