to give formal, official approval

to give formal and final approval to an agreement or decision so that it becomes official or legal

نمط الاستخدام: [authority] ratifies [agreement/decision/treaty]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes use "ratify" for everyday personal approval, as in *"My friends ratified my idea"*, which sounds unnatural. In daily situations, "agree with" or "approve of" is better. "Ratify" is mainly used for formal decisions, treaties, contracts, and laws made by governments, organizations, or official groups. It is also sometimes confused with "verify" (to check if something is true) and "justify" (to show that something is right); however, "ratify" is about giving official final approval.
المرادفات
approve (More general and common; can be informal, while "ratify" is specifically formal and legal or institutional.) | endorse (Stresses support or backing; less strictly legal than "ratify" but overlaps in official contexts.) | confirm (Emphasizes making something definite; may be less formal and not always about legal validity.) | validate (Focuses on making something legally or officially acceptable; slightly more technical than "ratify".)
الأضداد
reject (Direct opposite: to refuse to approve an agreement or decision.) | veto (To use official power to block approval, especially in political or legislative contexts.) | annul (To make a law or agreement no longer valid, often through a legal or formal act.)
