opening section of something
The first part of a talk, text, video, song, etc. that starts it and tells you what it is about or who is in it.
Padron ng paggamit:
the intro to [something]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes use "intro" in very formal writing (for example, academic essays or official reports). In such contexts, "introduction" is usually preferred. Also, some learners confuse "intro" with "entrance"; "intro" is about the first part of communication, not a physical doorway.
Mga kasingkahulugan
introduction (Full, more formal word; used in both spoken and written English, especially in formal contexts.)
|
opening (Stresses the beginning part; can be less focused on giving information and more on the first moment or section.)
Mga kasalungat
outro (Refers to the closing or final section of a song, video, or show, the opposite of the beginning intro.)
|
ending (General word for the final part of something, opposite of the first part or intro.)

basic introduction to a subject
A simple first lesson, book, or experience that helps you start to understand a subject.
Padron ng paggamit:
an intro to [a subject]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes think "intro" must always be the first chapter or part of a larger work. In this sense, it can also be a whole short course, book, or video series that gives only the basics. Another mistake is using "intro" where a more formal term like "overview" or "introduction" is expected in academic titles.
Mga kasingkahulugan
overview (Focuses on a broad picture of a subject; slightly more formal and less strongly tied to beginners.)
|
primer (A basic book or resource for beginners; somewhat formal and more often used in writing than speech.)
Mga kasalungat
in-depth study (Focuses on detailed, advanced knowledge of a subject, which is the opposite of a simple first intro.)
|
advanced course (A higher-level class for people who already know the basics, the opposite of a beginner-friendly intro.)

basic or beginner-level
Used before a noun to mean that something is for beginners and only gives the simple, first ideas of a subject.
Padron ng paggamit:
intro [noun]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes write "intro course" in formal documents where "introductory course" would sound more natural. Another mistake is placing "intro" after the noun (e.g. *"the course intro" when they mean "intro course"); "intro" as an adjective usually comes before the noun.
Mga kasingkahulugan
introductory (Standard, more formal adjective; not shortened; preferred in careful or academic writing.)
|
basic (Emphasizes simplicity; can sound a bit more general and not always limited to first-level courses.)
Mga kasalungat
advanced (Describes higher-level classes or materials for people who already know the basics, opposite of intro-level.)
|
intermediate (For people who are no longer beginners but not yet advanced, contrasted with intro-level at the very start.)
