How it is used

  • Idiom: not to be blamed too harshly / understandable - 他这么做无可厚非 (tā zhème zuò wúkě hòufēi) you can't really fault him for doing this.
  • Concedes that something, though imperfect, is reasonable and shouldn't be criticized. Don't confuse with 无可非议 (beyond reproach), which is stronger approval.
