same thing, different words

Question

I learned that both gafas and lentes refer to the glasses. So, I wonder if there is a list of vocabulary which show me those different words refering to the same thing.

Revised:

Maybe I should make my question clearer. The words that I want to know about are nouns, not verbs. And those words may differ from country to country or from region to region. For example, Britons say flat but Americans say apartment; Britons say lift but Americans say elevator.

Answer 2

You can try any of the following links for interactive sites that will bring up lists of synonyms for words that you type.

http://www.sinonimos.com/

http://www.sinónimo.es/

http://www.sinonimos.org/

The last of these is probably the most useful of the three in that it also provides definitions (in Spanish) for the synonyms that are generated for a given word.

Answer 4

There are many words in Spanish that are Synonyms as there are in English. I posted a question about that recently, as well, and learned a few synonyms I hadn't known before.
