A synonym is a word which, although it's not the same word, has the same meaning as another one.
i'm sure you have been given ample examples here, but if you do want a synonym for a particular word, google it

A synonym is a word that means the same, or similar, to the original word. (I think it's pretty odd that you can explore the internet enough to ask this question, but not enough to find ou what a synonym is for yourself). For example, if the word is poor some synonyms are: deprived, broke, underprivelaged, meager, and unfortunate.

A synonym is another word that means the same. If you have a Thesaurus at home, it is full of examples. Eg. prior - before.

synonyms means words with the same meaning.. A word having the same or nearly the same meaning as another word or other words in a language.. why don't you use like the word mama=mother, teacher=professor,proctor,instructor, homework=assignment.. that's all i can think of, that she would likely to say everyday,, i hope i helped you enough.. tC!

synonym - a word that has the same meaning.
laughed - giggled
lied - fibbed
looked-glanced
that type of thing. think about words she uses a lot, and don't try and over-complicate things.

a synonym is a word similar in meaning. for example - necessary and compulsory. use a thesaurus to help you.

It means like, if she says "Hello", a synonym would be "good day".
