<p>Hey guys
I dont exactly understand the difference between these 2 words.According the barron`s mini dictionary ,denounce - condemn,criticize ; deplore = regret;disapprove
SO ,denounce is supposed to have stronger meaning ?</p>
<p>Lets add ‘‘deprecate’’ to this group
***** my life</p>
<p>denounce is condemning yeah; something like chastising, bitterly scolding,it’s a very negative word.
deprecate is a negative word too, something like degrading or something,im not too sure,but its negative.</p>
<p>Let’s suppose that I’ve discovered you are hiding pornography in your SAT prep book and that’s what you’re doing instead of studying.</p>
<p>I may deplore this behavior – I may think badly of it. I may even deprecate you – I may say bad things about you. And I may go so far as to denounce you – I may say things that condemn you strongly.</p>
<p>I tend to understand “denounce” as stronger than “deprecate”. I suspect that’s probably because when I say self-deprecating things it’s more like, “Oh, I’m not really all that good at this stuff” than “I’m an evil person!” which I would understand as self-denunciation. But deploring can be done just in my own mind, whereas deprecation and denunciation require me to say something.</p>
<p>Or at least that’s how I’ve always understood it to be.</p>
