뜻
Giving reasons to avoid responsibility
문화적 배경
In Bangladesh, 'অজুহাত দেখানো' is often used in political talk shows to criticize the opposition or the ruling party for not fulfilling promises. In Kolkata, the term is frequently used in the context of 'Adda'. If someone leaves early, they are teased for their 'অজুহাত'. In modern South Asian offices, 'Zero Tolerance for Excuses' is a common motto, making this phrase a serious critique. Bengali parents often use this phrase to teach children about responsibility and the value of hard work.
Context is King
Only use 'Ajuhāt' when you want to imply the reason is not entirely valid.
Don't be Rude
Calling someone's reason an 'Ajuhāt' to their face can be very confrontational.

'Bahana' is more informal and can also mean 'pretending' or 'whining'.
Only if you are talking about how you *don't* make excuses! Otherwise, it's too informal for your own reasons.
