What does synonymous mean?

"Synonymous" means having the same or nearly the same meaning as another word or phrase.

Here are some examples:

* "Happy" and "joyful" are synonymous.

* "Big" and "large" are synonymous.

* "Expensive" and "costly" are synonymous.

In essence, synonymous words can be used interchangeably without significantly changing the meaning of a sentence.

However, it's important to remember that while synonymous words have similar meanings, they might not be perfect substitutes in all contexts. Sometimes, one word might be more appropriate or have a slightly different nuance than the other.
