Explanation
ยุติธรรม carries the idea of being unbiased, fair, and morally or reasonably right. It can be used as an adjective, as in คำตัดสินที่ยุติธรรม “a fair decision,” adverbially with อย่างยุติธรรม “fairly,” and as the abstract noun ความยุติธรรม “justice; fairness.” It is slightly formal, but very usable in everyday complaints such as ไม่ยุติธรรมเลย “That’s not fair at all.” In legal contexts, it also appears in terms related to the justice system.
Usage
Commonly used when talking about treatment at school or work, decisions in exams or sports, distribution of work or money, and legal, political, or social issues. It is also a common word for saying that something is unfair.
Caution
Do not treat it as exactly the same as เท่าเทียม “equal.” ยุติธรรม is about fairness or justice, while เท่าเทียม is about equality. For the noun “justice,” ความยุติธรรม is usually the natural form.
