in a strange or unusual way

In a way that is not normal or is surprising and strange.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] behaves/acts oddly
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "oddly" with "rarely" because "odd" can also mean a small number left over (e.g. "odd jobs", "odd numbers"). "Oddly" almost always means "in a strange way", not "not often". Another mistake is using the adjective form instead of the adverb, e.g. saying "He behaves odd" instead of "He behaves oddly".

used to say a fact is strange

Used at the start of a sentence to show that what you are going to say is strange or surprising.

استعمال کا انداز: Oddly, [clause]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes put "oddly" in the middle of the clause in this meaning, where it sounds like the first sense (manner) instead of a comment on the whole sentence. For example, "He, oddly, refused the offer" is possible but less natural than "Oddly, he refused the offer". Also, many learners overuse "oddly enough" in formal writing; in very formal texts, "surprisingly" or "interestingly" may be more appropriate.
ہم معنی الفاظ
strangely (Very close in meaning when used before a clause; interchangeable in most contexts.) | curiously (Similar "surprisingly" meaning, but can sound a bit more formal or literary.) | surprisingly (Focuses more on being unexpected than on being strange; often slightly stronger.)
متضاد الفاظ
understandably (Shows that something makes sense and is not strange or surprising.) | predictably (Says that something is exactly what we would expect, not odd.)
