desire to harm or hurt others

A strong, angry feeling when you want to hurt someone or make something bad happen to them on purpose.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] feels malice toward [someone]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes treat 'malice' as a countable noun (e.g., *a malice*, *many malices*). In modern English, 'malice' is almost always uncountable and used without 'a'. Learners may also confuse 'malice' (the feeling or desire) with 'malicious' (the adjective describing a person, action, or comment).
ہم معنی الفاظ
spite (Often suggests small, mean behavior done just to annoy or hurt someone.) | ill will (Stresses a negative, unfriendly attitude, not always active desire to harm.) | malevolence (More formal and literary, suggests deep and lasting evil intent.)
متضاد الفاظ
goodwill (Emphasizes friendly, kind feelings and a wish for others to do well.) | benevolence (Stresses a positive, generous wish to do good to others.)

legal intent to do wrongful harm

In legal language, the state of mind when a person plans or accepts a wrongful act, like serious injury or death, and does it without any good legal reason.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] acts with malice
عام غلطی:
Learners may assume legal 'malice' always means strong hatred, but in law it often means simply the intention or awareness of doing something very dangerous or wrongful, even without personal hatred.
ہم معنی الفاظ
wrongful intent (Plain legal-style phrase focusing on the intention to do something against the law.) | evil intent (Less technical, stresses a morally bad purpose behind the act.)
متضاد الفاظ
good faith (Legal and everyday term meaning honesty and lack of intention to deceive or harm.) | lawful justification (Focuses on having an accepted legal reason for the act, which malice lacks.)
