required by law or rule

Needed because a law, rule, or person in power says so; you cannot choose not to do it.

استعمال کا انداز: [something] is mandatory for [someone] / it is mandatory to [verb]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use *mandatory* to mean simply 'very important'. However, *mandatory* means it is required by a rule or law, not just important. Also, use patterns like 'It is mandatory to wear a helmet' or 'Wearing a helmet is mandatory', not 'It is mandatory wear a helmet.'

so expected it is standard

Happening or included because it is very common and everyone expects it, often used as a joke.

استعمال کا انداز: the mandatory [typical thing]
عام غلطی:
Learners may think this always means 'required by law or rule'. In informal speech, people often use *mandatory* jokingly to mean 'so common that it always happens', as in 'the mandatory group photo'. Here, there is no real rule or law; it is just a strong expectation.
ہم معنی الفاظ
standard (Suggests something is normal or usual, without the humorous tone of 'mandatory'.) | expected (Focuses on what people think will happen, not on any rule or requirement.) | typical (Describes something as usual for that kind of situation, but not necessarily joking.)
متضاد الفاظ
unusual (Opposite because it describes something that does not normally happen or appear.) | surprising (Opposite in that it describes something people do not expect in that situation.)
