act of firing someone from a job
The act of telling a worker that they must leave their job and will not work there anymore.
Vartosenos šablonas:
the dismissal of [someone] from [a job/company]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse “dismissal” with “resignation”. “Dismissal” means the employer ends the job; “resignation” means the worker chooses to leave. Another mistake is using “dismissal” as a verb (e.g. *they dismissal him*); the correct verb is “dismiss” (e.g. *they dismissed him*).
Sinonimai
firing (More informal and common in everyday speech; focuses on the act itself rather than the legal or formal process.)
|
termination (More formal and technical; often used in HR and legal contexts instead of “dismissal”.)
Antonimai
hiring (Opposite employment action: giving someone a job instead of ending it.)
|
reinstatement (Opposite result: giving a person their job back after a dismissal.)

refusal to take something seriously
The act of saying or showing that you do not care about someone’s idea or feeling and will not think about it.
Vartosenos šablonas:
the dismissal of [something] as [adjective/noun]
Dažna klaida:
Learners may think “dismissal” always means losing a job. In this sense, it is about not respecting or not considering an idea or feeling. Use the pattern “dismissal of [idea/concern]” rather than “dismissal about [idea]”.
Sinonimai
disregard (Focuses on not paying attention; less emotional than “dismissal”, which can sound more rejecting or contemptuous.)
|
rejection (Broad term; “dismissal” often implies a quick or slightly contemptuous rejection.)
Antonimai
acceptance (Opposite attitude: being willing to consider, value, or agree with something instead of rejecting it.)
|
consideration (Opposite action: giving careful thought instead of quickly rejecting or brushing off something.)

ending of a legal case or charge
An official decision by a judge to stop a legal case or charge, often because there is not enough reason or evidence.
Vartosenos šablonas:
the dismissal of [the case/charges/appeal]
Dažna klaida:
Learners may confuse this with someone being dismissed from a job. In legal news, “dismissal” usually refers to a court ending a case, not to employment. Note the fixed pattern “dismissal of the case/charges”, not *“dismissal the case”.
Sinonimai
case dismissal (More explicit legal phrase; emphasizes that it is a legal case being ended.)
|
throw-out (of a case) (Informal expression often used in news reports to describe the same action.)
Antonimai
conviction (Opposite common outcome: instead of ending the case, the court finds the defendant guilty.)
|
indictment (Procedural opposite stage: formally bringing charges, rather than ending them.)

official end of school or class
The time when school or a class ends and students can leave.
Vartosenos šablonas:
[school/class] dismissal at [time]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes think “dismissal” here means firing a teacher. In school schedules and letters, “dismissal” almost always refers to students leaving for the day. Use “dismissal time” or “school dismissal”, not *“dismissal hour” in most school English.
Sinonimai
end of school (Everyday phrase; less formal than “school dismissal”, which is often used in schedules and notices.)
Antonimai
start of school (Opposite point in the school day: when students must arrive instead of leave.)

cricket event when batter is out
In cricket, the moment when a player who is batting is called out and must leave the field.
Vartosenos šablonas:
[type] dismissal of [batter]
Dažna klaida:
Learners who know general English may not realize that “dismissal” has this special sports meaning. In cricket contexts, it does not mean losing a job. Also, do not say *“he got a dismissal” for a job; that sounds like the cricket sense.
Sinonimai
wicket (In cricket talk, losing a “wicket” often means a dismissal; however, “wicket” can also mean the set of stumps, so it is less precise.)
|
out (Very short and informal; describes the state of the batter rather than the event of the dismissal itself.)
Antonimai
not out (Opposite status of a batter: they remain in and have not suffered a dismissal.)
