Questions about difference between reason and excuse.
How I can I to understand the difference between excuse and reason? Thanks.An online dictionary lists the following definitions:
Reason: a cause, explanation, or justification for an action or event
Excuse: attempt to lessen the blame attaching to (a fault or offense); seek to defend or justify
So, an excuse is given when someone may be trying to push the blame elsewhere or simply justify why they did something. However, a reason may simply provide an explanation without trying to shirk the responsibility for the decision.
Tal vez, “excuse” es similar a “no mi culpa” y “reason” is más or menos como “razón”. Es una cuestión de grado y, en mi opinión, “una razón” generalmente responsabiliza más que alguien que ofrece “una excusa”.
Espero que eso ayude.

Excuse = negative. However,
Reason = positive, negative or both.

Excuse, to me is almost like pardon me . But when you give a convenient reason ( usually not the real reason) to someone not to accede(agree) to his/her request or invitation. Then this an excuse. For example, when a boy asks a girl for a date, she then says that she is not free because she has to wash her hair that night . This is called an excuse. Not the real reason. Excuse is a faked reason given so as to be diplomatic. I hope this is ok. Piyah

Could you please provide the context? It's hard to see any difference without it.
