I need to translate rebuke into German. It is a verb. There are three translations for that: zurechtweisen, ermahnen, tadeln. What is the difference between them?
Example:
Peter rebuked to me that I didn’t do well in the project.

by the way, is there some German-German dictionary, with explanations that I could use?– cornejoCommented Oct 2, 2016 at 15:49

If you considered a real book, I suggest Pons "Deutsch als Fremdsprache", one can look here at some sample pages.– guidot ♦Commented Oct 3, 2016 at 12:11

For one, there are more than three possible translations. I'm missing "rügen", for instance. For another, you "rebuke somebody" and not "to somebody". And you usually rebuke somebody "for [not] (doing) something)". Your English sentence sounds a bit weird after all.– Em1Commented Oct 4, 2016 at 7:55

Tadeln and zurechtweisen are synonyms and translate to rebuke.
Ermahnen rather means warn or caution.

Du würdest den Beispielsatz sowohl mit tadeln, als auch mit zurechtweisen übersetzen? Commented Oct 2, 2016 at 17:10

Wikipediacalls a rebuke to be a type of censure. Which in turn is a type of critique.
Peter kritisierte meine Projektleistung.
