intending to hurt or harm

Wanting to hurt someone or make trouble for them on purpose, often to be mean or cruel.

استعمال کا انداز: malicious [remark/act/intent/gossip]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "malicious" for things that have no intention, such as *"a malicious storm"* or *"a malicious accident"*. This is incorrect because "malicious" always involves a person (or a person’s action or creation, like malicious software) that wants to cause harm on purpose. Another confusion is with "bad" or "dangerous"; something can be dangerous without being malicious if there is no intention to hurt.
