What's the difference between оправдывать / извинять / оправдываться / обосновывать / мотивировать
The closest general equivalent: to show that an action, decision, or idea has a reasonable basis and is therefore acceptable.
Usually means ‘to forgive’ or ‘not hold responsible’; closer to excusing a person than justifying an argument or position.
Means ‘to make excuses for oneself,’ often with a shade of self-defense or a forced explanation of one’s fault.
Emphasizes logical, factual, or scientific support: to provide grounds, arguments, or reasons.
Usually means ‘to explain motives’ or ‘to prompt action’; in the justify sense, the key is explaining the reasons behind an action.
