Честа грешка:
Learners sometimes confuse "ordain" with "organize" or "plan" (e.g., *"They ordained the wedding"*). "Ordain" is used for officially making someone a religious leader, not for arranging events. It is also different from simply "hire" or "appoint" someone to a non-religious job.

ordain that
|as the law ordains
|the constitution ordains
|be hereby ordained
|ordain and establish
Синоними
decree (Very close in meaning; commonly used for official statements by a ruler or government, and slightly more common in modern legal and news language.)

Learners may confuse this sense with simply "decide" or "plan" in normal situations. "Ordain" in this meaning is used when talking about fate, God, or a grand, fixed plan for the future. It is not used for everyday choices like *"I ordained to eat early"*, where "decided" is correct.
Значение
decide something as fate or God
Колокации
as fate ordained
|as God has ordained
|ordained by fate
|ordained by God
|it was ordained that
Синоними
destine (Also suggests a fixed future, often with a strong emotional or narrative tone; "ordain" sounds more religious or solemn.)
