意图 (yì tú) is a neutral word for 'intention' or 'to intend', covering both noun and verb senses. It differs from 打算 (dǎ suàn), which implies a concrete plan, and 有意 (yǒu yì), which stresses deliberate or purposeful action. As a noun, it is more general than 用意 (yòng yì 'purpose') or 意向 (yì xiàng 'inclination').
