difference between blame and accuse

blame - (буруушаах, буруутай гэж үзэх)Blame is often used for offensive meaning
to think or say that someone or something is responsible for something bad
blame someone/something (for something)
     ---- She doesn't blame anyone for her father's death.
accuse - (буруутгах, яллах, ял тулгах)accuse is used in law related cases and accuse sounds more official
to say that someone has done something wrong or is guilty of something
accuse someone (of something)
      ---- She accused him of lying.


difference between blame and accuse


  • blame:hold responsible and criticize for doing wrong.
    example sentence: The terrorists were blamed for the bombings.

    accused say that (some one)has done something wrong or has committed a wrong
    example sentence: He was accused of murder.

  • They are the same except accuse sounds more official

  • To accuse is more official than to blame, if someone is accused they usually are charged with an offense judicially or by a public process.

  • Well Blame is often used for offensive meaning, and accuse is used in law related cases.



  • "to blame" is to hold someone responsibility, while "to accuse" is to just say that someone has failed to do something he should have done.

  • To accuse is to say that someone has acted wrongly. They could have broken a law, or not acted in an expected way. The wrong act can be positive or negative - someone did something or did not do something.

    To blame is to say that someone was responsible for something that is wrong or goes wrong. 

    Example: Jack accused Jill of pushing him down the hill. He blamed her for the fall and the bruises on his head.
