Concept in Definition ABC

They mean the same, they are written differently

The term synonymous designates those words or expressions that have a very similar or a very similar meaning with one or more others but they are written differently, although as we said they refer to the same concept and are used by case to name what same. Two words are considered synonymous with each other when they refer to the same thing.

Knowing synonyms helps in understanding messages

It is certainly important that we know and recognize the synonyms because they help us to understand the messages, the texts, among other expressions that we come across. That is, if we do not know that the words cute and beautiful are synonymous, we will be in trouble in terms of understanding the

message and we probably do not understand what is being said, but if we know that both are synonymous, we will have no problem understanding what is being said.

… And they also enrich the vocabulary

We must also emphasize that the vast knowledge of all the synonyms that a word can have enrich our vocabulary because without a doubt they allow us not to repeat ourselves in our speech or in our messages writings; if for example we are writing a text and in some passages we want to refer to the same idea, we can do it using synonyms in each case so as not to repeat concepts.

Synonyms help us enrich our way of expression and they also prevent us from falling into the repetition of words, something that of course in a text does not look good at all.
A good Author, undoubtedly, is one that demonstrates to its readers a broad knowledge of the language.

Types of synonyms

At the behest of the linguistics are usually distinguished between three types of synonyms…total synonymsThey are those words that have the same meaning in all the linguistic contexts in which they intervene, leaving aside terminological considerations; partial synonyms, are those that have the same meaning in many linguistic contexts but not in all.

For example, potato and potato, the speaker is the one who will have to choose according to the context the most appropriate for the situation in which he finds himself. In this case, with context, we refer to a geographical location, since for example, if the speaker is in Argentina he will speak in terms of potato while if he is in Central America he will say potato, since that word is more common there; synonyms with difference of degree, are those that have a similar meaning, but with a difference in terms of intensity that they manifest. For example, laughter is less intense than its synonym laughter, which denotes greater intensity.
