1
give someone a task or duty
To tell someone to do a specific job or task.
استعمال کا انداز:
to assign [someone] [a task] / to assign [a task] to [someone]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"give a homework"* instead of *"assign homework"* or *"give homework"*. Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition, such as *"assign a task for someone"* instead of *"assign a task to someone"*.

2
allocate something to a person or use
To give something, like a room or money or time, to a person or a use.
استعمال کا انداز:
to assign [something] to [someone/something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes mix this sense with the idea of giving a task. For physical things or resources (rooms, seats, money, staff), use *assign* in the sense of allocation. Also, avoid *"assign for someone"*; use *"assign to someone"*.
ہم معنی الفاظ

|

|
designate (Emphasizes formally choosing something for a special use or purpose.)

3
give a label, value, or category
To put a name, number, value, or category on something.
استعمال کا انداز:
to assign [a label/value/role] to [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners may confuse this sense with simply *"calling"* something a name. *Assign* is more formal and is used when names, numbers, values, or categories are part of a system, not just casual speech.
ہم معنی الفاظ
label (More informal and concrete, often about everyday names or tags.)
|
attribute (Often used when giving a cause, quality, or source to something, especially in academic contexts.)
|
designate (Stresses officially deciding a role, status, or category.)
متضاد الفاظ
remove (To take away a label, value, or role that was previously assigned.)

4
send someone to a place or duty
To officially send someone to work in a place or on a special job.
استعمال کا انداز:
to assign [someone] to [a place/project/case]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use *"send"* instead of *"assign"* in formal work contexts. *Send* focuses on movement, while *assign* focuses on the official duty or position. Also, remember the preposition *"to"* in *"assign someone to a place/project"*.
ہم معنی الفاظ
post (Often used for military or government positions in a particular location.)
|
deploy (Common with military or technical staff; suggests sending people where they are needed.)
|
appoint (Focuses more on giving a role or position, less on the physical place.)
متضاد الفاظ

|

transfer legal rights to someone
To give your legal rights in something, like a contract or property, to another person or company.
استعمال کا انداز:
to assign [rights/contract/claim] to [someone/something]
عام غلطی:
Learners may think this legal use is the same as simply *"giving"* or *"sharing"* something. In law, *assign* usually means a formal, written transfer of rights, often with strict rules.
ہم معنی الفاظ
transfer (General word for moving rights or property from one person to another; not always specifically legal jargon.)
|
convey (Legal term often used in property law for transferring ownership.)
متضاد الفاظ
retain (To keep legal rights instead of giving them to someone else.)
|
reclaim (To get back rights that were previously assigned or given away.)
