Planning & wishing

ようと思う

Means "thinking of doing". Used with a verb in the volitional form (よう).

[!info] Example レストランへ行こ==うと{思|おも}います==。 I'm thinking of going to the restaurant.

つもり

Means "intend to".

[!info] Example 明日ゲームセンターに行く==つもり==はない。 I don't plan to go to the arcade tomorrow.

よてい

V (dictionary)

N + の

+ 予定だ

It means "plan to". This form is stronger than つもり. For a same sentence, the nuance could be a strong intention for つもり, while with よてい the plan has already been booked.

[!info] Example 来年日本へ行く=={予定|よてい}==です。 I'm planning to go to Japan next year (I have my tickets).
