Listen and read.
Today schools, kindergartens and hospitals in Moscow don’t look the same as in the past. They have got many different shapes, sizes and colours. Because these buildings are so interesting, they become the centre of each district. Architects now use modern materials and paint all kinds of designs on the front walls of schools. You can even say where your classroom is by looking at the design on the wall! There are also safe and beautiful playgrounds for sports and games near the schools.
Modern schools and kindergartens are just like robot-transformers! You can move the walls around inside the school, so you can turn classrooms into large common rooms and sleeping rooms into playrooms. How cool! Just like every person has got a different face, every building has got a different front wall, or face. Moscow schools are all different in colour and shape but they have all got one thing in common – every person and citizen can study there!

People are often not as understanding as they should be towards those who are different or have special educational needs. The most important thing that we must all remember is that we should treat everyone with respect.
In Moscow, the government and all the citizens try to make the city as people-friendly as possible. For example, there are wheelchair ramps, special lifts and even special tiles and signals for the blind. But is this enough? We should also give every citizen the opportunity to express themselves and develop their talents. In Moscow many organisations work with this goal in mind. One of them is a centre called ‘Integration’. Their motto is ‘Culture that is available for everyone!’ At the centre they work hard to make sure that everyone accepts and respects other people’s differences. The people at the centre encourage people with special needs to express themselves through music, poetry, literature and art. Because we are all equal when it comes to creativity!

Going to school in Moscow is really cool! Moscow schools are modern and well-equipped, and are among the best in the world!
New technology is everywhere! To start with, Moscow pupils use electronic cards ‘Moskvenok’ to enter their schools and parents use an electronic mark-book to check their children’s marks. In many of the classrooms there is an overhead projector or an interactive whiteboard. Today, pupils and teachers use computers, laptops, science labs, 3D-printers and other equipment. Of course, pupils still use textbooks to study, but now they also have a chance to take virtual tours, watch educational videos and even communicate with their classmates and teachers on the Internet. It’s all so interesting!
So if Moscow schools are cool today, just imagine what they will be like in the nearest future! Perhaps pupils will fly to school in small cars which will run on energy from the sun! They won’t use notebooks for writing because they will do all their homework on personal tablets instead! They will also use special virtual reality headsets to study subjects like Geography, Physics and Biology. And what about teachers? Imagine a future where robots will sometimes teach pupils instead! The future looks very exciting for Moscow schools!

It is difficult to find antonyms for words. What are antonyms and examples of their enrichment of the Russian language. What is the antonym
Antonyms are words that are different in sound and have opposite meanings: lie is true, evil is kind, to be silent is to speak. Examples of antonyms show that they refer to the same part of speech.
Antonymy in Russian is presented much narrower than synonymy. This is due to the fact that only words enter into antonymic relations that are related in terms of quality (good — bad, native — alien, smart — stupid, thick — rare, high — low), temporary (day — night, early — late), quantitative (the only one — multiple, many — few), spatial (spacious — close, large — small, wide — narrow, high — low) signs.
There are antonymic pairs denoting the names of states, actions. Examples of antonyms of this kind: rejoice — grieve, cry — laugh.
Types and examples of antonyms in Russian
In terms of structure, antonyms are divided into different roots (morning — evening) and one-root (go in — go out). The opposite of meaning for single-root antonyms is caused by prefixes.
However, it should be remembered that the addition to adverbs and prefixes without-, not— in most cases, attaches to them the meaning of a weakened opposite (high — low), so the contrast of their values turns out to be «muted» (low — this does not mean «low»).
Based on this, not all prefix formations can be attributed to antonyms, but only those that are the extreme points of the lexical paradigm: strong — powerless, harmful — harmless, successful — unsuccessful.
Antonyms, as well as synonyms, are closely related to ambiguity: empty — serious (conversation); empty — full (cup); empty — expressive (look); empty — meaningful (story). Examples of antonyms show that different meanings of the word «empty» are included in different antonymic pairs. Unambiguous words, as well as words with specific meanings (iambic, pencil, desk, notebook, etc.) cannot have antonyms.
Among the antonyms, there is also the phenomenon of enantiosemia — this is the development of mutually exclusive, opposite meanings of some ambiguous words: to carry (to the room, to bring) — to carry (from the room, to take away); abandoned (phrase just spoken) — abandoned (abandoned, forgotten). The meaning in such cases is specified in the context. Often, enantiosemia is the cause of the ambiguity of certain expressions. Examples of antonyms of this kind: he listened to the report; the director looked at these lines.
Contextual antonyms: examples and definition
Contextual antonyms are words opposed in a specific context: moonlight — sunlight; not a mother, but a daughter; one day — all life; wolves are sheep. The polarity of the meanings of such words in the language is not fixed, and their opposition is an individual author’s decision. The writer in such cases reveals the opposite qualities of various concepts and contrasts them in speech. However, these pairs of words are not antonyms.
Antonyms are words, belonging to the same part of speech, differing in spelling and sound, and meaning directly opposite concepts.
One part of speech is not the only condition under which words of the opposite meaning can be called antonyms. There must be some common feature between these words. That is, both concepts should describe feeling, or time, or space, or quality and quantity — in which case they will be antonyms.
Examples of antonyms
Let’s analyze this definition with examples.
Antonym for the word «Before»
The antonym for the word «before» will be the word «now»… Both words are adverbs — “when? before ”and“ when? now». Both of them are united by a common feature — the description of time. But if the word «before» describes a situation or event that took place sometime in the past, then the word «now» refers to the present. Thus, the words are opposite in meaning and are antonyms.
Antonym for the word «Friendly»
The antonym for the word «friendly» is the word «Unfriendly»… Both concepts refer to one part of speech — the adverb. As the rule requires, they are united by a common feature — that is, they describe an emotional shade. But if the word «friendly» means joy and pleasure (for example, from someone’s presence), then «unfriendly» has the exact opposite meaning — the one whose appearance or speech is characterized by this word is clearly not happy about anything.
Antonym for the word «Tears»
The antonym for the word «tears» will be the word «laughter». Both concepts refer to nouns, both of which describe an emotional action. But if in the first case the emotion is clearly negative — tears of grief, tears of sadness, tears of pain — then the word «laughter» means joy, happiness and fun. Words are opposite in meaning — and therefore they are antonyms.
Other popular antonyms
Below is a list of words and their antonyms.
- The word «Synonym», the antonym is «Antonym».
- The word «Interesting», the antonym — «Boring».
- The word «Wind», the antonym — «Quiet».
- The word «Find», the antonym — «Lose».
- The word «Fresh», the antonym — «Spoiled, stale.»
- The word «Beautiful», the antonym — «Disgusting, terrible.»
- The word «Snow», the antonym — «Rain».
- The word «Waited», the antonym — «Sudden, unexpected».
- The word «Carefully», the antonym — «Careless».
- The word «Sun», the antonym — «Moon».
- The word «Day», the antonym — «Night».
- The word «Fast», the opposite is «slow».
We hope you now know what an antonym is.
How nice it is to see and listen to an interesting person. I always admire people who know the word. I hope you share my opinion.
There are very few sources of quality language in our children’s environment today. Just very little.
Which exit? This environment must be created. I already talked about this in an article about the theatrical activities of children. Word games give good results for the mind and speech. ,for example, when we are looking for a word that is opposite in meaning to the given one, thinking is accelerated.
An antonym is a word that is the opposite of a given one in meaning.
For preschoolers, the expression «enemy words» is more understandable. But you can introduce the concept of «antonyms to the word.» I usually tell the kid: “Now we will look for the“ enemy words ”. They are also called «antonyms». You will learn this word at school. So remember, it will still be useful to you. «
Believe the experience, the preschooler will definitely try to remember and flaunt in front of his friends and parents. Sometimes this can be explained to schoolchildren, if the search for antonyms is news to them. And these are not only first grade students.
The game. Finish the sentence and name the «enemy words»
Instruction. «You and I will come up with proposals: I will come up with a beginning, and you will come up with an end.»

Words with the opposite meaning are absent in the dictionary even of high school students. Therefore, the search for antonyms is currently relevant until the graduation class.
Learning how to search for antonyms for a word for both preschoolers and schoolchildren should start with a simple one. Schoolchildren may resent the simplicity. Explain to warm up. Complicate: answer directly «in flight». Typically, guys with limited vocabulary already have a loser complex. By immediately proposing complex (for example, abstract) words, you can get a complete rejection of classes.

Antonyms — these are words of the same part of speech with the opposite meaning. Let us indicate examples of antonyms that are words of different parts of speech.
The concept of antonyms
The variety and richness of the vocabulary of the Russian language create synonyms, antonyms, paronyms and homonyms. To find out what the linguistic term «antonyms» means, let us turn to its origin. This word is made up of the Greek prefix anti-, which means «against,» and the word «onyma» is «name.» As a result, we get the meaning of the word «antonym» — «opposite name».
Let us give a precise definition of this term.
Definition
Antonyms — these are words of the same part of speech with the opposite lexical meaning.
And here is the definition of what antonyms are given by Wikipedia:
Antonyms (Old Greek ἀντι- prefix with the meaning of the opposite + ὄνομα «name») — these are words of the same part of speech, different in sound and spelling, having directly opposite lexical meanings, for example: «truth» — «lie», «kind» — «evil», «speak» — «be silent.»
Antonyms, unlike synonyms, have exactly the opposite lexical meaning:
- smart — stupid;
- day Night;
- cordially — hostile.
Antonyms, as a rule, are words of the same part of speech that answer the same question. They characterize an object, feature or phenomenon from the same side, pointing to the same quality, but the opposite in meaning. These words make up antonymic pairs.

The meaning of antonyms in speech
Antonyms make our speech more imaginative and vivid.
Opposition helps to tell figuratively about completely opposite phenomena, to draw pictures of the world around that are unlike each other, to highlight one quality of an object against the background of another comparable to it, to convey more fully and accurately the feelings and experiences of people.
These words enrich any utterance, as they clarify the meaning of the words. Thanks to antonyms, speech becomes expressive, beautiful and accurate. To be convinced of this, let’s observe the statements of thinkers and famous writers.
From a bad beginning and the end is bad (Euripides).
Joys are forgotten, but sorrows — never (M. Yu. Lermontov).
To love good, you need to hate evil with all your heart (F. Wolf).
Both evil and good — everyone receives a reward for their actions (J. Goethe).

Contextual antonyms
Words can enter into antonymic relations depending on the meaning of the context. Such words become antonyms in a certain message at the will of its author.
Contextual antonyms clarify the writer’s thought, make it figurative and help to create a complete description of the described phenomenon or object.
With their help, it is possible to express the ultimate opposition between the considered phenomena of reality, the qualities of objects, the feelings of people. Contextual antonyms are volumetric and accurately express the author’s assessment of the depicted.
They got along. Wave and stone, poetry and prose, ice and fire are not so different from each other (A.S. Pushkin).

Antonyms are adjectives examples of words. What is Antonym? Examples. Verbs-antonyms: examples of words in Russian
Synonyms are words belonging to the same part of speech, different in spelling and pronunciation, but similar in lexical name (cheerful — joyful). Antonyms are words belonging to the same part of speech, different in spelling and pronunciation, with directly opposite lexical meanings. (funny — sad). Synonymous nouns: fun is joy, moon is month, doctor is doctor. Nouns-antonyms: minus — plus, evil — good, heat — cold.
Nouns are a group of words that give names to people, objects, abstract concepts, natural phenomena, etc. Nouns answer the questions who? or what? Among the nouns, various subgroups are distinguished according to the meaning of words. Among such subgroups are synonyms and antonyms.
What are synonyms and antonyms
Synonyms are words whose meaning is very similar. At the same time, words sound and are spelled differently and have nothing in common. For example, trouble and sorrow, doctor and doctor. These words have exactly the same meanings and can be used in the same situations. Such synonyms are called absolute.
In addition to absolute, there are partial synonyms. For example hot and hot. When describing the weather, we can say both «hot weather» and «hot weather», but with the word «tea» we can only put «hot tea». «Hot» in this case will sound silly.
Also, synonyms can be a word and a phrase. For example, morning is the beginning of the day. In this case, one word «morning» can be replaced by two words without losing the meaning.
Synonyms are used when in the text it is necessary to avoid the constant use of the same words.
Antonyms are words with the opposite meaning. Unlike synonyms, antonyms can have completely different spellings, but they can also be single-root words. The former include the words «black» and «white». The second is the example of «truth» and «untruth».
It is also worth mentioning that synonyms form a synonymous series, in which there can be an unlimited number of words. For example, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense Antonyms form only pairs: heavy — light, kind — evil, strong — weak.
Examples of synonyms and antonyms
To better understand the difference between synonyms and antonyms, consider a few examples:
- day — night — words could be considered synonyms, because they denote part of the day, but these are antonyms, since day is the light part, night is the dark part;
- lake — pond — synonyms. There is a difference between a lake and a pond, but these bodies of water are very similar and the words are synonymous;
- space — the universe — synonyms;
- noise — silence — antonyms.
Antonyms are words that belong to the same part of speech, differ in sound and spelling, and have exactly the opposite meaning. Belonging to one part of speech is not the only condition according to which words that have an opposite in meaning can be called antonyms; there must be a common feature between such words, for example, when both concepts describe feeling, time, space, quantity, quality, etc.
