geplant vs zufällig

random / by chance

'zufällig' and 'geplant' are opposites. 'zufällig' says that something happens without preparation or intention. 'geplant' says that someone thought about something beforehand and prepared it. Both words can talk about events or actions, but they show exactly different causes. If something simply happens, 'zufällig' fits. If it was decided and organized beforehand, 'geplant' fits.
