1. What are English synonyms?<\/h2>\n

1.1. What are English synonyms?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Synonyms are words in English that have similar meanings but different spellings and pronunciations.<\/p>\n

Examples of synonyms:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Start \u2013 Begin: both mean \"to start.\"<\/li>\n
  • End \u2013 Finish: to end, to conclude.<\/li>\n
  • Intelligent \u2013 Brainy: intelligence, thinking, smart.<\/li>\n
  • Clever \u2013 Smart: intelligent, creative, logical thinking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    1.2. Classification of synonyms in English<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    Synonyms in English are classified into absolute synonyms and relative synonyms.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Absolute synonyms: are words with identical meanings that can replace each other in all contexts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Example: Fatherland \u2013 Motherland: homeland, native land.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Relative synonyms: are words with similar meanings but are used in specific contexts, showing differences in emotional nuances.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Examples:<\/p>\n

        (1) Synonyms with different nuances, linguistic or cultural meanings, and cannot replace each other:\nStare (to look intently) \u2013 Look (to gaze) \u2013 Gaze (to look with admiration) \u2013 Glance (to look briefly)<\/p>\n

        (2) Synonyms with stylistic differences: Father \u2013 Dad both mean \"father,\" but \"father\" has a formal tone, while \"dad\" is informal.<\/p>\n

        (3) Synonyms differing in tone, status, or figurative meanings:\nFor example, \"Dismiss\" \u2013 \"Fire\" \u2013 \"Sack,\" where:\n\n\"Dismiss\" is formal,\n\"Fire\" is informal,\n\"Sack\" suggests \"without dignity\" or \"due to incompetence.\"\nSimilarly:\n\"Reduce (to decrease)\" \u2013 \"Axe (to cut down)\" \u2013 \"Cut back (to scale down).\"\n\nAnd \"house\" means \"home,\" while \"shack\" refers to a poorly constructed home, and \"slum\" refers to \"a shantytown.\"<\/p>\n

        (4) Synonyms differing by regional usage: For instance, in the U.S., it is called \"sidewalk,\" while in the U.K., it is called \"pavement.\"<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        (5) Synonyms used for euphemism (also known as polite or softened language). For example, when referring to poor people, using the word \u201cpoor\u201d sounds harsher compared to the softer, more refined, and polite term \u201cunderprivileged.\u201d<\/p>\n

        Similarly, when talking about death, \u201cdie\u201d is a direct way of saying it, whereas other expressions are softer and less painful, such as \u201cbe no more\u201d (no longer exist), \u201cbe gone\u201d (pass away), \u201close one\u2019s life\u201d (to pass away), and \u201cbreathe one\u2019s last\u201d (take one\u2019s final breath).<\/p>\n

        2. Methods for learning English synonyms<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        When learning English synonyms, don\u2019t \u201crush\u201d to learn too fast or too many at once. Learn slowly and thoroughly, delve deeply into each word so that you can use them fluently in both communication and grammar.<\/p>\n

        During the process of learning new synonyms, don\u2019t forget to continuously review the words you\u2019ve already learned.<\/p>\n

        When learning synonyms, study their exact meanings. This will help you remember them better.<\/p>\n

        Don\u2019t stop at just reading books and memorizing without practicing. Don\u2019t hesitate to frequently use those synonyms in practical situations, starting with the most basic communication scenarios in English.<\/p>\n
