1
turn off or make not work
To make a machine, program, or feature stop working or stop being active.
استعمال کا انداز:
to disable [a device/feature/account]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"disable off"* (e.g., *"disable off the Wi‑Fi"*), but *disable* already includes the idea of turning something off, so you should say *"disable the Wi‑Fi"*. Another confusion is between *disable* and *uninstall*: *disable an app* means stop it from running; *uninstall an app* means remove it from the device.

injure so normal activity is impossible
To hurt or damage someone or something so much that they cannot move, work, or live in a normal way.
استعمال کا انداز:
to disable [someone/something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse the verb *disable* with the adjective *disabled*. You should say *"He was disabled in an accident"* (adjective) or *"The accident disabled him"* (verb), not *"He is disable"*. Also, do not say *"He is disabled to walk"*; instead say *"He is unable to walk"* or *"He cannot walk"*.

متضاد الفاظ

make legally unable to act
To take away a person’s legal right or power to do something, like vote or have a job in government.
استعمال کا انداز:
to disable [someone] from [doing something]
عام غلطی:
This formal legal meaning is rare in everyday speech. Learners sometimes try to use it in normal situations where *"not allowed"*, *"cannot"*, or *"disqualify"* would sound more natural. For example, say *"He was disqualified from the race"*, not *"He was disabled from the race"*.

|
