Hi,

Could someone explain the meaning of 'judgemental' by giving examples?

In what situation you would say 'someone is judgemental'?

Thanks a lot.

Hi, Someone judgemental is usually quick to assign blame, particularly in moral matters of people's conduct. ie They are quick to say that someone's behaviour or opinion is wrong or immoral. It's often used as a negative term.
