a person's usual mood/character
The normal way someone is, especially their usual mood and how they behave most of the time.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone] has a [adjective] disposition
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "disposition" with "mood." "Disposition" is more stable and long-term (your usual way of being), while "mood" is temporary (how you feel right now). They also sometimes write "*good disposed" instead of "good-natured" or "of a good disposition."
ہم معنی الفاظ
temperament (Very close in meaning, often used in more formal or psychological contexts.)
متضاد الفاظ
instability (Highlights the lack of a steady, predictable mood or character that a disposition implies.)

a tendency or inclination
A usual tendency to do something or to feel something in a certain way.
استعمال کا انداز:
a disposition to/toward [verb/noun]
عام غلطی:

arrangement of things or people
The planned way things or people are placed or arranged in a space.
استعمال کا انداز:
the disposition of [things/people] in [a place]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes think this meaning is about "mood" or "personality" because of the more common sense. In this formal meaning, "disposition" refers only to how things or people are placed, often in technical, military, or architectural contexts.
ہم معنی الفاظ
arrangement (More general and common; less formal and can refer to non-spatial ordering as well.)
متضاد الفاظ
disorder (Suggests a lack of ordered arrangement where a planned disposition is expected.)

final outcome of a legal matter
The official final result of a legal case or charge, for example when it is closed, dismissed, or the person is found guilty.
استعمال کا انداز:
the disposition of [a case/charge/appeal]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse this with the everyday sense of "mood" or with "decision." In legal writing, "disposition" refers specifically to how a case or charge is finally handled or closed, not just any opinion or choice.
ہم معنی الفاظ
settlement (Often refers specifically to an agreement between parties; "disposition" is broader and covers any final outcome.)
متضاد الفاظ
continuation (If a case is continued or remains open, it has not yet reached disposition.)

transfer or disposal of property
The act of selling, giving, or moving property or money to someone else, especially in law or business.
استعمال کا انداز:
the disposition of [assets/property/funds]
عام غلطی:
Learners often mix up "disposition" and "disposal." "Disposal" is more common for everyday waste (e.g., garbage disposal), while in legal and financial texts "disposition" is standard for how property or assets are sold, given, or otherwise dealt with.
ہم معنی الفاظ
transfer (Focuses on moving something from one owner to another; "disposition" also includes selling or getting rid of something entirely.)
متضاد الفاظ
acquisition (Refers to obtaining property or assets, the opposite of disposing of or transferring them away.)
