on purpose; not by accident

In a way that you plan and want to do, not by accident.

استعمال کا انداز: to do [something] intentionally
عام غلطی:
Learners often confuse "intentionally" with "unintentionally" or "accidentally" when talking about mistakes. "Intentionally" means someone wanted to do it or planned it. "Accidentally" and "unintentionally" mean they did not want or plan to do it. Spelling is also tricky: learners sometimes write *intensionally*, which is incorrect here.

with specific, conscious intent (legal)

In a way that shows a person clearly chose to do something, often used in law or formal rules.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] intentionally [verb phrase] (legal/formal context)
عام غلطی:
Learners may not see a difference between general "intentionally" and this formal or legal use. In legal or official writing, "intentionally" often appears with words like "knowingly" or "wilfully" and is used to decide responsibility or guilt, not just to describe everyday behavior.
ہم معنی الفاظ
wilfully (Common in legal and formal writing; often implies stubborn or wrongful intent.) | purposefully (Suggests clear purpose or aim, often neutral but can appear in legal or formal contexts.)
متضاد الفاظ
negligently (In legal contexts, contrasts actions done with intent with actions caused by lack of care rather than purpose.) | inadvertently (Used in formal and legal language to show something happened without careful thought or intent.)
