a "formal" way to translate judgmental

Question

I found the translation of judgmental as "sentencioso" but it doesn't work when I try to translate: "He seemed judgmental about my life-style". Any ideas?

Answer 1

Hola:

Otra opción puede ser,

"Parecía tener prejuicios sobre mi estilo de vida...".

Remember that you can translate meaning, not words.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I am not sure about crítico. You can criticize without being judgmental. I like "tener prejuicios" much better. Maybe "parecía prejuicioso"?

Answer 3

Parecía juicio/polemico sobre mi estilo de vida

Answer 4

YOu could say:

Parecía criticar mi estilo de vida.

...emitir juicio acerca de/sobre mi estilo de vida. (this would be very formal)

Answer 5

I would use crítico here
