clearly and directly stated

نمط الاستخدام: to expressly [verb] that [clause]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes confuse "expressly" with "especially". "Expressly" means something is clearly or officially said in words (similar to "explicitly"), while "especially" means "in particular" or "more than usual". For example, "The law expressly forbids this" (clearly states) vs. "I especially like this song" (like it more than others).

explicitly (Very close in meaning; slightly more common in both everyday and formal use.)

specifically for a purpose

specifically for a certain person, group, or use

نمط الاستخدام: expressly for [someone/something]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes use "especially" instead of "expressly" in formal writing. "Especially" is fine in everyday speech, but in written instructions, product descriptions, or official texts, "expressly" or "specifically" often sounds more natural and precise. Also, do not say *"expressly to you"* when you mean "directly to you"; use "expressly for you" for the idea of special purpose.
