Meaning

Used to describe what a person is planning to do in the future or what a person is planning not to do.

Note

Expresses a clear intention. It is stronger than 'v-ou to omou' but implies less certainty than 'v-koto ni natte-iru' (which often implies external plans).

Examples

来年、日本へ行くつもりです。

I intend to go to Japan next year.

明日は運動しないつもりです。

I intend not to exercise tomorrow.

将来、医者になるつもりだ。
