EN: Reason, justification, righteousness
This is your 'why.' Your alibi. Your defense when someone asks, 'Bakit mo ginawa 'yun?' It's the logic you present in a debate, the hugot you use to justify your life choices, or the reason you give your boss for being late. When you say 'May katuwiran ako,' you're saying, 'I have my reasons, and they're valid (to me, at least).'
From `ka-` + `tuwid` (straight, right) + `-an`, forming the abstract noun for 'righteousness' or 'reason'.
Can also be spelled colloquially as 'katwiran'. It encompasses both logical reason and moral rightness.
🇵🇭 Ano ang iyong katuwiran sa pag-alis nang maaga?
🇺🇸 What is your reason for leaving early?
🇵🇭 Ipaglaban mo ang iyong katuwiran kung alam mong nasa tama ka.
