to ignore information or advice
To choose not to listen to or think about information, advice, or warnings.
Модель употребления:
to disregard [something]
Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes say *"disregard about something"* (✗). Use *"disregard something"* with no preposition: *"He disregarded the rules"*, not *"He disregarded about the rules"*. Many learners also overuse "ignore"; "disregard" is more formal and is common in writing, instructions, and official speech.

ignore (Most common general verb; slightly less formal than "disregard".)
|

|
discount (Common in discussion or analysis; means to treat something as unimportant or not true.)
Антонимы

to show no respect for rules/rights
To act as if rules, laws, or people's rights and feelings are not important.
Модель употребления:
to disregard [rules/rights/feelings]
Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes use "disregard" where "hate" or "be rude to" is better. "Disregard" in this sense is about not caring about rules, rights, or feelings, not about actively insulting someone. Also, do not say *"disregard to safety"* (✗); say *"disregard safety"* or *"disregard for safety"* (✓).
Синонимы
flout (Stresses open, often proud disobedience of rules or laws.)
|
violate (Stronger and more legal; focuses on breaking laws or rights rather than just not respecting them.)
|
disrespect (Focuses more on attitude than on specific rules or legal duties.)
Антонимы
respect (Means to value and be careful of rules, rights, or feelings rather than ignoring them.)
|
observe (Formal; means to follow or obey rules, laws, or customs instead of disregarding them.)

the act of ignoring something
A situation where someone does not listen to or think about information, advice, or instructions.
Модель употребления:
disregard of [something]
Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes confuse the noun "disregard" with the preposition "regardless of". "Disregard" is a noun (or verb), e.g. *"his disregard of the rules"*, while "regardless of" is used before a noun phrase, e.g. *"regardless of the rules"*.
Синонимы
neglect (Can mean not giving enough attention; sometimes suggests carelessness rather than a choice.)
|
inattention (Focuses more on not paying attention, often without strong moral judgment.)
Антонимы
attention (The opposite state of actively noticing and considering something.)
|
regard (In this context, means attention or consideration, the opposite of disregard.)

lack of respect or concern
A way of thinking or acting that shows you do not care about rules, laws, or other people.
Модель употребления:
disregard for [rules/rights/safety]
Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes write *"disregard of safety"* where native speakers more often say *"disregard for safety"* when they want to express lack of concern. Use *"disregard of"* for the simple act of ignoring something, and *"disregard for"* when you mean lack of respect or care.
Синонимы
contempt (Stronger; adds a feeling of strong dislike or scorn, not just lack of concern.)
|
indifference (Focuses more on not caring; may sound less morally charged than "disregard" in some contexts.)
Антонимы
respect (Emphasizes valuing and caring about rules, laws, or people.)
|
concern (Focuses on caring about others' safety or feelings.)
