This paper proposes a method to infer intentions of users of computer systems that have interactive man-machine interface. The main feature of the approach is the employment of fuzzy abduction -- inference procedure to find an appropriate explanation of given fuzzy events. The paper describes a user utterance model expressed by a goal hierarchy whose goals are different le vels of intentions, and introduces fuzzy abduction as a mechanism to infer intentions. Then, it shows an example to recognize user's intentions from his utterance.
