Exprobating, which means to express disapproval or criticize someone's actions, has several synonyms that can be used in different contexts. One of the most common alternatives is "condemning," which denotes strong disapproval or censure of something or someone. Another synonym is "rebuking," which suggests a more severe reprimand or scolding of someone's behavior. In a less harsh but still critical tone, "reproaching" or "chiding" can also be used to denote disapproval. "Scolding" is another word that can be used, but it is typically reserved for expressing disapproval to someone younger or subordinate. All of these words can be used interchangeably with "exprobating" depending on the situation or tone required.
