Synonyms

News

Hola chicos,

¿Qué tal la semana?  Súper, espero :)

 

Today I want to address vocabulary.   

Most students want to improve their vocabulary and one way to do it is by learning some synonyms.  There is more than 1 way to say things!

 

Here are a few common words and a synonym you could use instead:

 

Common word: Quizás = maybe

Alternative frase: A lo mejor

Por ejemplo:  Quizás pruebe un nuevo restaurante esta noche.  /  A lo mejor pruebe un nuevo restaurante esta noche.

 

Common word: Muy = very

Alternative words: súper or re (which actually means very, very)

Por ejemplo: La película estuvo muy buena.  /  La película estuvo súper buena o La película estuvo re buena.

 

Common word: Estudiante = student

Alternate word = Alumno

Por ejemplo:  PBO tiene más o menos 200 estudiantes en este momento.  /  PBO tiene más o menos 200 alumnos en este momento.

 

Common word: Hablar = to talk/speak

Alternative words: Conversar or charlar

Por ejemplo: Quiero hablar con mi hermano.  / Quiero conversar con mi hermano o Quiero charlar con mi hermano.

 

Common word: Escoger = to choose

Alternative word: Elegir

Por ejemplo:  Escoge uno.  /  Elige uno.

 

What words do you use ALL the time?  Is there something else you could use instead?  A lo mejor puedan encontrar algo aquí:  http://www.wordreference.com/sinonimos/

 

Besitos,

Caro
