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 another or others but that are written differently, although as we said they refer to the same concept and are used by case to name the same. Two words are considered synonymous with each other when they refer to the same thing.
For example, synonyms for the word cute include: beautiful, beautiful, precious, exquisite, handsome, graceful, and nice. And then any of them can be used instead of beautiful and in our language without affecting understanding, on the contrary, when someone says something or someone that is beautiful, they will know what they want to refer to as beautiful, the most beautiful in its category. .
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 understanding the message and probably we do not understand what is being said, but if we know that both are synonymous, we will not have any 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 written messages; If, for example, we are writing a text and in some passages we want to refer to the same idea, we can do so using synonyms in each case so as not to repeat concepts.
Synonyms help us to enrich our way of expression and 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, without a doubt, is one who shows his readers a broad knowledge of the language.
Types of synonyms
At the behest of linguistics, they usually distinguish 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 geographic 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 degreeThey are those that have a similar meaning, but with a difference in the intensity they manifest. For example, laughter is less intense than its synonym laughter, which denotes greater intensity.
