「責める」と「咎める」の意味がどう違うですか? I think they both mean "to blame" in a sense, but how are they different? よろしくお願いします!

「責める」は、単に相手を非難することで、「咎める」は、ガミガミお説教したり、ストレスを発散させながら非難するイメージですね。

責める means to blame someone no mattar why he/she should be blamed. Even if the someone is righteous person, when he/she got to be attacked, we use 責める at any case. But 咎める means to blame someone who is out of moral. 咎める needs some sort of ethical reason.

I think 責める is used more often than 咎める. とがめる is not old word, however I have not heard this word so often in speaking. (I find this word in written words.) For expamle, we say '私を責めないで’(means 'Don't blame me.'), however '私をとがめないで’ souds unnatural a bit.

In terms of subjective...(主観でいうと…) 責める → blame 咎める → Interrogate
