Antonym pairs

Antonym pairs are sets of words that have opposite meanings, such as "hot" and "cold," or "happy" and "sad." They help us describe differences or contrasts between things, qualities, or conditions. Understanding antonyms enhances communication by providing clear distinctions and emphasizing differences. They are useful in language for comparison, clarification, and expressing angles of thought or feeling. Some antonym pairs are direct opposites, while others may have nuanced differences, but both serve to clarify meaning through contrast. Recognizing antonyms can improve vocabulary, comprehension, and effective expression.
