Por Favor HeLp~ Synonyms~

Question

I wanted to make Synonym Flashcards in Spanish for my Grandchildren to play "Go Fish"

Anyhow, I thought I was starting out great!!! I had my lists of synonyms, here's a little reminder for those like me who have been out of school awhile. I used this little rhyme to teach my kids Homonyms sound the same like to and too and two. Synonyms mean the same Like small and little do. Antonyms are opposites Like over and under and old and new.

Thank you Spanish Dictionary for once again rescuing my fanny, I almost made a HUGE blunder I started out with neat/tidy ordenado/arreglado That one seemed pretty easy then I went on to trash/garbage of course basura came up for both of those words so I chose pendejada for the synonym OHHH My goodness, I'm so GLAD I looked it up in the dictionary, I would NEVER talk like that and to think I would of been teaching my grandkids, on my GOODNESS!!! It reminds me of the time I was teaching the Kindergartners Spanish...I was teaching fruits and colors...Le gustan las fresas? Les gustan las fresas rojas? All the shile holding up BIG pictures of the fruits for them to see, all went well until I got to the cherries and said...Les Gustan las cervesas? After a few times of saying it, and it NOT sounding correct, I put the picture over my face and turned to the teacher and said..".I think I'm saying B-E-E-R," she said, "I thought you were too" then I remembered and said to the class "Les gustan cerezas"

So for anyone who would like to try their hand at SYNONYMS here's a list I would like to have without teaching my grandkids basura!!! Or add any others you would like!!! Thank you so much!!! Sharon

Answer 1

I'll help with some:

noisy / loud = ruidoso(a) / alto(a) un sonido alto

idea / thought = la idea / el pensamiento Hint: teach the article with the noun there are exceptions

tired / sleepy = cansado(a) / somnoliento(a)

nice / kind = amable / atento(a) [more for attentive, gracious, etc.] amable is best for both.

You know you can look these up on the translate function of this site, but I think this is a good exercise for all of us. That is why I am participating.

thank you and also for the hint, I will definately teach the article with the noun, yeah!!! - Sharon-Cash, Oct 19, 2015

Yes, I was looking up in the translation section, that is how I almost made my horrible mistake, but thankfully I clicked on pendejada before using it - Sharon-Cash, Oct 19, 2015

The 2 common ones are "el agua" feminine noun with "el" for sound, so "el agua fría" and "la mano" feminine noun ending in O so "la mano derecha / izquiera" For those two you might want to include the adjective. - Jubilado, Oct 19, 2015
