claim that someone did wrong
A statement that says a person did something bad or broke the law, even if it may not be true.
பயன்பாட்டு முறை:
an accusation of [wrongdoing] (against [someone])
பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners sometimes confuse "accusation" with "excuse". An "accusation" says someone did something bad; an "excuse" explains why someone did something. Also, the common prepositions are "an accusation of [something]" and "an accusation against [someone]", not *"accusation on" or *"accusation to".
இணைச்சொற்கள்
allegation (Often used in news and legal contexts; slightly more formal and neutral in tone.)
எதிர்ச்சொற்கள்
exoneration (Refers to an official or clear statement that someone is not guilty, removing earlier accusations.)
