en motivering
justification
Motivering (Swedish) translates to "motivation" or "justification" in English. It refers to the reasoning or explanation behind a decision, statement, action, or opinion. Typically, it's used when someone provides arguments or reasons to support or explain something.
Definition:
- Motivering: The act of giving reasons or arguments to explain why something is done, chosen, or believed.
Usage example:
- Swedish: "Hon gav en tydlig motivering till varför hon valde det ena alternativet."
- English: "She gave a clear justification/motivation for choosing that option."
Differences with related words:
| Swedish | English | Explanation |

| motivering | motivation/justification | Explanation or reasoning behind a decision or stance. |
| motivation | motivation | The internal drive or desire to do something (more related to personal drive rather than explanation). |
| förklaring | explanation | General explanation of something, often more factual or descriptive, not necessarily an argument. |
Note: While motivering can sometimes translate to motivation, it's more about the reasoning provided, whereas in English motivation alone often emphasizes internal drive or desire. For purely giving reasons or argumentation, "justification" or "explanation" are closer equivalents.
