Dalam artikel ini saya akan menjelaskan definisi atau pengertian sinonim dan menjelaskan pentingnya sinonim dalam menulis dan memperkaya kosa kata. Saya juga akan menyertakan beberapa contoh kalimatnya.
Sinonim adalah dua kata berbeda yang memiliki arti yang sama atau sangat mirip. Mereka dapat menjadi part of speech (verb, adjective, adverb, noun, or preposition).

Pengertian Sinonim
Dalam Bahsa Inggris Sinonim adalah kata yang memiliki arti yang sama atau hampir sama dengan kata lain.
Ketika kata-kata atau frasa memiliki makna yang sama, kita menyebutnya bahwa keduanya identik satu sama lain.
Istilah sinonim berasal dari kombinasi “syn” Yunani Kuno, yang berarti “dengan”, dan “onoma”, yang berarti “nama.”.
Sinonim adalah bagian reguler dan penting dari bahasa sehari-hari yang sering kita gunakan.
Kata-kata sinonim bisa terdapat di semua bagian pidato, baik itu berupa kata benda, kata kerja, kata sifat, kata keterangan, atau yang lainnya.
Sinonim sangat penting sehingga ada beberapa karya referensi yang didedikasikan untuk ini yang disebut tesaurus, ini adalah kamus sinonim!.

Kenapa Sinonim Penting?
Karena pilihan kata adalah segalanya dalam bahasa (mungkin bagian yang paling penting!), pentingnya sinonim tidak dapat diukur. Sinonim membuat bahasa lebih menarik, lebih bermakna, dan lebih relevan.
Sinonim memiliki peran besar, sentral dalam pemilihan kata untuk prosa dan puisi dan penulisan lainnya.
Faktanya, anda dapat berargumen bahwa puisi bahkan tidak akan ada tanpa sinonim, salah satu alasan utama kita menggunakannya adalah deskriptif, kreatif, dan ekspresif, dan puisi bergantung pada ketiga hal itu.
Bayangkan seperti apa menulis, membaca, dan berbicara jika hanya ada satu kata untuk semuanya! Bahasa akan membosankan, dan tidak memiliki ruang untuk kreativitas.
Cara kata-kata dipilih dan digunakan sering kali adalah apa yang mendefinisikan sepotong sastra.
Jadi, sinonim memungkinkan semua penulis untuk mengembangkan gaya dan suara mereka sendiri saat membuat karya mereka.
Alasan utama lain kita menggunakan sinonim adalah karena kata-kata sering memiliki makna yang sama tetapi memiliki konotasi yang berbeda (makna tersirat kata).
Misalnya, Anda mungkin mengatakan “athe soup’s aroma was in the air” yang membuatnya terdengar lezat, tetapi “the soup’s odor was in the air” membuatnya terdengar mengerikan.
Jadi, seorang penulis memilih sinonim berdasarkan konotasi positif, negatif, atau netral. Ini membantu penulis mengatakan apa yang mereka maksud, dan bagaimana mereka mereka menginginkan bentuk tulisannya.
