Põhjendatum

Põhjendatum is an Estonian word that translates to "more justified," "better founded," or "more reasonable" in English. It is the comparative form of the adjective "põhjendatud," which means justified, founded, or reasonable.

The word is used to express a higher degree of justification or a more solid basis for something compared to another option or a previous state. For instance, one might argue that a certain decision is põhjendatum than another, implying it has stronger reasons or evidence supporting it. Similarly, a more põhjendatum explanation would be one that is more thoroughly supported by facts or logic.

In legal contexts, a põhjendatum otsus refers to a decision that is well-reasoned and based on sufficient evidence and legal grounds. In everyday language, it can be used to compare the validity or merit of opinions, arguments, or actions. The concept of põhjendatum is central to rational discourse and decision-making, emphasizing the importance of sound reasoning and evidence.
