Welcome
to my blog! Do you know about antonym and synonym? Just to remind you again
about Antonym, Synonym, and Hyponym. Let’s check it out!
Firstly, look
at this picture!
From this picture, can we conclude that synonym
is a word having the
same or nearly the
same meaning as another
word or other words
in a language. Synonyms are words that are similar or
have a related meaning to another word. They can be lifesavers, especially when
you want to avoid repeating the same words over and over. Also, sometimes the
word you have in mind might not be the most appropriate word, which is why
finding the right synonym can come in handy.
Here is a list of adjectives and
their synonyms that are commonly used to describe people.
- Beautiful: Attractive, Pretty, Lovely, Stunning
- Fair: Just, Objective, Impartial, Unbiased
- Funny: Humorous, Comical, Hilarious, Hysterical
- Happy: Content, Joyful, Mirthful, Upbeat
Here
are some miscellaneous words and their synonyms:
- Baffle: confuse, deceive
- Hypocrisy: duplicity, falseness
- Pacify: appease, placate
Secondly, we learn again about antonym. Look at again!
Antonym is a word of opposite meaning of
another. It comes from the Greek words “anti” for opposite and “onym” for name.
Since language is complex, people may at times, disagree on what words are
truly opposite in meaning
to other words. Sometimes, an
antonym can be easily made by adding a prefix.
Examples
of antonyms that were made by adding the prefix “un” are:
- Likely and unlikely
- Able and unable
- Fortunate and unfortunate
- Forgiving and unforgiving
By
adding the prefix “non” you can make these pairs:
- Entity and nonentity
- Conformist and nonconformist
- Payment and nonpayment
- Combatant and noncombatant
Lastly, adding the prefix “in” can
make the following pairs:
- Tolerant and intolerant
- Decent and indecent
- Discreet and indiscreet
- Excusable and inexcusable
Thirdly, we learn about Hyponym. See this picture again!
Hyponym is a word whose meaning is included in the meaning of another
more general word; for example, bus is a hyponym of vehicle.
