strong public or official disapproval
public or official words that say something or someone is very bad or wrong.
Vartosenos šablonas:
condemnation of [something] by [someone]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse "condemnation" with "punishment". "Condemnation" is the strong negative judgment or words about something, not the actual penalty. For example, "There was condemnation of the crime" (people strongly said it was wrong) is different from "He received punishment for the crime" (he went to prison, paid a fine, etc.).
Sinonimai
criticism (General word for saying what is wrong with something; usually weaker and less formal than condemnation.)
|
denunciation (Very strong public criticism, often formal or political, similar in strength to condemnation but focuses more on accusing.)
Antonimai
praise (Shows strong approval instead of strong disapproval.)
|
approval (General positive judgment, the opposite of condemning something as bad or wrong.)

official court decision to punish
a court’s decision that a person is guilty and must be punished, often very strongly.
Vartosenos šablonas:
condemnation of [someone] to [punishment]
Dažna klaida:
Learners may use "condemnation" here when they only mean "criticism". In a legal context, "condemnation" is a formal judgment of guilt and punishment, not just people saying the crime is bad. Use context (words like "court", "judge", "trial") to signal the legal meaning.
Sinonimai
conviction (General legal term for being found guilty; condemnation suggests a particularly harsh or severe judgment.)
|
sentencing (Focuses on giving the punishment; condemnation emphasizes the strong judgment that the person deserves it.)
Antonimai
acquittal (Legal decision that someone is not guilty, the opposite of a court’s condemnation.)

legal taking of property by state
a legal process where the government takes private land or buildings for public use, usually with money paid to the owner.
Vartosenos šablonas:
condemnation of [property] for [public use]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes think this is another word for "saying something is bad". In legal and real-estate texts, "condemnation" can mean the government taking property through law, not just criticizing it.
Sinonimai
eminent domain (The general legal power that allows the government to take property; condemnation is the specific legal action or process used.)
Antonimai
voluntary sale (The owner chooses to sell the property freely, instead of having it legally taken through condemnation.)

divine judgment and punishment
in religion, the state of a person who is judged by God as guilty and must suffer punishment after death.
Vartosenos šablonas:
condemnation of [someone’s] soul
Dažna klaida:
Learners may not realize this religious sense is different from social or legal disapproval. In Christian texts, "condemnation" often refers to God’s judgment on a soul, not people’s opinions or a human court’s decision.
Sinonimai
damnation (Very close in meaning; commonly used in religious language for eternal punishment by God.)
Antonimai
salvation (In religious language, being saved by God, the opposite of being under divine condemnation.)
