فعل B2 action
1

express strong moral disapproval

To say that something or someone is very wrong or bad, often in public.

استعمال کا انداز: to condemn [something] as [adjective]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "condemn" with "criticize". "Criticize" can be mild or neutral, but "condemn" is very strong and usually moral. Also, learners may say *"condemn about"*; the normal patterns are "condemn something" or "condemn something as [adjective]" or "condemn someone for [doing something]".

فعل formal B2 action
2

sentence someone to punishment

To say officially, usually in court, that someone must get a certain punishment, often death or many years in prison.

استعمال کا انداز: to condemn [someone] to [punishment]
عام غلطی:
Learners may use "condemn" for everyday punishments, where "fine" or "punish" is more natural. Also, this sense is almost always used in a legal or formal context; saying *"My parents condemned me to clean my room"* sounds odd unless meant humorously.
ہم معنی الفاظ
sentence (General legal term; "condemn" sounds stronger and is often used for very severe punishments such as death.)
متضاد الفاظ
acquit (To decide in a court that someone is not guilty and therefore receives no punishment, which is the opposite of condemning them.)

3

declare a building unsafe

To say officially that a building is not safe to use, so people must not live or work there.

استعمال کا انداز: to condemn [a building] as [adjective]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse this sense with general disapproval. Saying *"They condemned the building"* in this sense means an official safety decision, not just that people criticized the building. Also, note that the object is usually a structure, not a person.
ہم معنی الفاظ
declare unfit (More general and slightly less technical; "condemn" usually implies an official order and often leads to closure or demolition.)
متضاد الفاظ
approve (To officially accept something as suitable or safe, which is the opposite of condemning it as unfit.)

4

doom someone to an unpleasant fate

To make someone, or say that someone must live in a bad situation that they cannot easily leave.

استعمال کا انداز: to condemn [someone] to [unpleasant state]
عام غلطی:
Learners may overuse this strong word for small problems, where verbs like "put" or "leave" are better. Also, it is often used in the passive ("be condemned to"), and learners sometimes forget the preposition and say *"be condemned in a life of"* instead of "condemned to a life of".
ہم معنی الفاظ
doom (Very close in meaning; "doom" is often more dramatic or literary, while "condemn" can sound slightly more formal and moral or official.)
متضاد الفاظ
liberate (To free someone from a difficult or unpleasant situation, which is the opposite of condemning them to it.)
لفظی تراکیب
