difference between murder and kill

What is the difference in meaning between "kill" and "murder"?


  • To kill something is to end its life in a positive or negative way/reason
    For example you can kill an animal to end its suffering. Or you could kill an animal for sport or because it is a nuisance. 

    To murder is the same as To kill but you can never murder something in a nice way. Murder is allways seen as negative/bad. 

    Hope that made some sense to you :S

What is the difference between this 2 words : kill and murder?


  • soldiers .....kill

    serial killers ...murder!

  • you kill a goat, you murder a human

  • Killing can be accidental (as in accidental manslaughter, etc.) Murder is purposeful(зориуд, санаатай) killing with no legitimate(хууль ёсны, хуулийн дагуу) defense.
