What is the difference between antonyms and synonyms?

Here's the difference between antonyms and synonyms:

Antonyms:

* Definition: Words that have opposite meanings.

* Example:

* Hot and Cold

* Up and Down

* Happy and Sad

Synonyms:

* Definition: Words that have similar meanings.

* Example:

* Happy and Joyful

* Big and Large

* Brave and Courageous

In simple terms:

* Antonyms are opposites. Think of them as being on opposite ends of a spectrum.

* Synonyms are like different shades of the same color. They express the same general meaning, but with slightly different nuances.
