Abstract

Synonyms are words with similar meanings. Developing skills in the field of synonyms involves understanding the nuances and shades of meaning between similar words. In order to effectively convey these nuances to students, teachers should emphasize the importance of choosing the most suitable synonym for the context. Nuances and shades of meaning: synonyms may share a common meaning, but they often have subtle differences in connotation, tone, or usage. For example, if we consider the synonyms “happy” and “joyful”, although both express positive feelings, “happy” indicates a stronger or more enthusiastic feeling, while “joyful”, of course, means a sense of satisfaction without excitement.
