Noun
atvainošana f (4th declension)
- excusing; apology; verbal noun of atvainot
- grēksūdze nav arī sevis atvainošana ― (religious) confession is not simply excusing oneself
- patiešai atvainošanai jāliek justies labāk, kā arī tā visbiežāk rada vēlēšanos kļūt labākam cilvēkam un iepriecināt otru ― genuinely excusing (= a genuine apology) must make one feel better, and it also most often causes the desire to become a better person and to please other (people)
