         DefinitionShort: to express disapproval of what someone has done

         Glosses: to criticize

         Comments: It is possible to interpret the meaning of διακρίνομαι in {S:04401100200014} as being merely adverse judgment, but since this judgment was clearly voiced, διακρίνομαι implies more than mere judgment. The direct expression of an adverse judgment may be best rendered in English as ‘to criticize.’
