    Synonyms are words that have a similar meaning or they can sound the same and have a different meaning: rain or reign, rain is of course rain and reign means the monarch, king or queen reigns over us.


    Happy, glad, joyous.


    Synonyms are different words with almost identical or similar meanings. Words that are synonyms are said to be synonymous, and the state of being a synonym is called synonymy. The word comes from Ancient Greek syn (σ?ν) ("with") and onoma (?νομα) ("name"). The words car and automobile are synonyms. Similarly, if we talk about a long time or an extended time, long and extended become synonyms.

    synonyms are the opposite of antonyms
