‘a very large number of things, probably more than is necessary’ just as an example, that’s not the point here.

I find it just once solitary perhaps solution, which I’ll describe it in the blog Neugenery.

Hello and welcome to the forums.

I have found that you can sometimes find a word by Googling the definition along with «a word which means» but it happens only occasionally. The only online reverse dictionary I can find is: OneLook Reverse Dictionary

Please give your threads titles which refer to the actual post somehow. «Finding a word by its definition» would have been good.

Exercise 1 Find words or phrases which go with the following

definitions (the words appear in the text in the same order as the definitions):

About Northern Ireland

Paragraph 2

4) a way of thinking about things

5) to deliberately avoid a person, place or activity

Paragraph 4

6) to form two very different groups that are completely opposite to each other

7) a generalization, not based on specific facts and maybe not completely

Text: About Northern Ireland

Great craic, live music and the Ulster fry

Where it is

Northern Ireland is part of the UK but is physically separated from mainland

England, Wales and Scotland by the wild and sometimes treacherous Irish Sea.

Northern Ireland has sea to the north and east, and borders the Republic of Ireland

on the west and south, making it the only UK country with a European border.

Unsurprisingly these physical characteristics affect the mindset of its population,

and it is not unusual to find some people who feel simultaneously a UK citizen, and

Irish citizen and a European citizen. Alternatively, others shun their UK identity and

embrace their Irishness, and many others insist on being ‘British’ and ignore their

Irish neighbours.

In a population of 1.5 million nearly 60% are under 40, making it a country with an

influential youth culture.

Religion and identity

Identity tends to be polarised according to the religious divide – Protestants tend to

see themselves as ‘British’ and part of the UK (except when the Irish rugby team is

in action and allegiance conveniently switches!), and Catholics tend to embrace the

Irish identity and an all-Ireland ethos. As with any such sweeping statement there

are many exceptions to the rule, and Northern Ireland is home to many people of

other religions and cultural identities. There are also a huge number of people from

both the Protestant and Catholic communities who value each other as friends and

fellow citizens, and to whom religion takes a back seat.

Language

In common with the UK, people in Northern Ireland speak English (with a distinctive,

hard to mimic accent). There also exist the lesser-used languages of Irish and

Ulster Scots and many associated cultural activities.

Political devolution

Northern Ireland shares the Westminster government with the UK but has had its

own devolved Assembly, currently suspended, with local control over various issues

including education and arts. The population waits for local politicians to come to

agreement so that the Assembly can be reinstated as independence from

Westminster is valued.

Stereotypes

Stereotypical images of Northern Ireland often centre on its troubled and violent

past: bombs, shootings, brutality, along with the more positive: building the Titanic,

the Giants Causeway World Heritage Site, linen industry and musicians such as

Van Morrison and Ash.

How do I use OneLook’s thesaurus / reverse dictionary?

OneLook lets you find any kind of word for any kind of writing.
Like a traditional thesaurus, you
can use it to find synonyms and antonyms, but it’s far more flexible.
Describe what you’re looking for with a single word, a few words,
or even a whole sentence. Type in your description and hit
Enter (or select a word that shows up in the autocomplete preview)
to see the related words.
You can order, filter, and explore the
words that come back in a variety of creative ways.

Here’s a video which
goes over some of the basics.

What are some examples?

Exploring the results

Click on any result to see definitions and usage examples tailored to your search,
as well as links to follow-up searches and additional usage information when available.
OneLook knows about more than 2 million different
words and expressions covering every topic under the sun.
Try exploring a favorite topic for a while and you’ll be surprised
how much new stuff there is to learn!

Ordering the results

Your results will initially appear with the most closely related word shown first,
the second-most closely shown second, and so on.
You can re-order the results in a variety of different ways, including
alphabetically, by length, by popularity, by modernness, by formality, and by other
aspects of style. Click the
box that says «Closest meaning first…» to see them all.
(Here’s a short video about sorting and filtering
with OneLook Thesaurus.)

Filtering the results

You can refine your search by clicking on the «Advanced filters» button
on the results page. This lets you narrow down your results to match
a certain starting letter, number of letters, number of syllables, related
concept, meter, vowel sound, or number of syllables.
Read more details on filters if you’re interested in how they work.

I’m only looking for synonyms! What’s with all of these weird results?

For some kinds of searches only the
first result or the first few results are truly synonyms
or good substitutions for your search word.
We highlight these results in yellow.
Beyond that, the results are meant to inspire you to consider similar words and adjacent
concepts. Not all of the results will make sense at first, but they’re all
connected with your search in some way. We’d rather give you too many options than
too few. If you’re unsure of a word, we urge you to click on
it to check its definitions and usage examples before using it in your Oscars
acceptance speech or honors thesis.

What are letter patterns?

If you know some letters in the word you’re looking for, you can enter a pattern instead of, or in addition to, a description. Here are how
patterns work:

The asterisk (*) matches any number of letters.
That means that you can use it as a placeholder for any part of a word or phrase.
For example, if you enter blueb* you’ll get all the terms that start with «blueb»; if you enter
*bird
you’ll get all the terms that end with «bird»; if you enter
*lueb*
you’ll get all the terms that contain the sequence «lueb»,
and so forth. An asterisk can match zero letters, too.
The question mark (?) matches exactly one letter.
That means that you can use it as a placeholder for a single letter
or symbol. The query l?b?n?n,
for example, will find the word «Lebanon».
The number-sign (#) matches any English consonant.
For example, the query tra#t finds the word «tract» but not «trait».
The at-sign (@) matches any English vowel (including «y»).
For example, the query abo@t finds the word «about» but not «abort».
NEW! The comma (,) lets you combine multiple patterns into one.
For example, the query ?????,*y* finds 5-letter words
that contain a «y» somewhere, such as «happy» and «rhyme».
NEW! Use double-slashes (//) before
a group of letters to unscramble them (that is, find anagrams.)
For example, the query //soulbeat will find «absolute»
and «bales out»,
and re//teeprsn will find «represent» and «repenters».
You can use another double-slash to end the group and put letters you’re sure of to the
right of it. For example, the query //blabrcs//e will find «scrabble».
Question marks can signify unknown letters as usual; for example, //we???
returns 5-letter words that contain a W and an E, such as «water» and «awake».
NEW! A minus sign (—) followed by some letters at the end of a pattern means «exclude these letters». For example, the query sp???-ei finds 5-letter words that start with «sp» but do not contain an «e»or an «i», such as «spoon» and «spray».
NEW! A plus sign (+) followed by some letters at the end of a pattern means «restrict to these letters». For example, the query *+ban finds «banana».
On OneLook’s main search or directly on OneLook Thesaurus, you can combine patterns and thesaurus lookups
by putting a colon (:) after a pattern and then typing
a description of the word, as in
??lon:synthetic fabric and the other examples above.

Other ways to access this service:

Drag this link to your browser’s bookmarks bar for a convenient button that goes to the thesaurus:

OneLook
Enter onelook.com/word into your browser’s address bar to go directly to the OneLook Thesaurus entry for word.
We offer a OneLook Thesaurus iPhone/iPad app
for a low subscription fee, with a two-week free trial.
This gives you OneLook at your fingertips, and
several cool app-only features, while helping us maintain the service for all!
If you use Google Docs, the thesaurus is integrated into the free OneLook Thesaurus Google Docs Add-On as the «Synonyms» button. (Wildcard patterns are not yet suppoerted by this add-on.)
If you regularly use the main OneLook site, you can put colon (:) into any OneLook search box,
followed by a description, to go directly to the thesaurus.
If you’re a developer, the Datamuse API gives you access to the core features of this site.

Is this available in any language other than English?

The same interface is now available in Spanish at OneLook Tesauro
as a beta version. More languages are coming!

How does it work?

We use a souped-up version of our own Datamuse API,
which in turn uses several lingustic resources described in the «Data sources» section
on that page. The definitions come from Wiktionary,
Wikipedia, and WordNet.
Here are some known problems
with the current system.

Much gratitude to Gultchin et al for the algorithm behind the «Most funny-sounding» sort order.

Profanity and problematic word associations

If you’re using this site with children, be forewarned you’ll
find profanity and other vulgar expressions if you use OneLook frequently.
(We take an unflinching look at how words have actually been used; scrubbing out
hurtful wordswould be a disservice to everyone.)

Some of the thesaurus results come from a statistical analysis of the
words in a large collection of books written in the past two
centuries. A handful of times we’ve found that this analysis can lead
us to suggest word associations that reflect racist or harmful
stereotypes present in this source material. If you see one of these,
please know that we do not endorse what the word association implies.
In egregious cases we will remove it from the site if you
report it to us via the feedback link below.

Privacy

No personally identifying information is ever collected on this site
or by any add-ons or apps associated with OneLook. OneLook Thesaurus sends
your search query securely to the Datamuse API, which keeps a log file of
the queries made to the service in the last 24 hours. The log file is deleted
after 24 hours and we do not retain any long-term information about your
IP address or invididual queries.

Who’s behind this site and where can I send my comments and complaints feedback?

OneLook is a service of Datamuse.
You can send us feedback here.

The sunburst logo (🔆) is the emoji symbol for «high
brightness», which we aspire to create with OneLook. (The
graphic came from the open-source Twemoji
project.)

Exercise 1 Find words or phrases which go with the following
definitions (the words appear in the text in the same order as the definitions):

About England
Paragraph 3
1) someone who is very famous and people think represents a particular idea
Paragraph 4
2) difficult to define or see clearly
3) a set of questions that you ask a large number of people
Text: About England
Diverse society, football and food
Where it is
England is perhaps the country most people first think of when they think of the
United Kingdom. It borders both Scotland and Wales and almost 50 million people
live there, which is over 80% of the UK’s total population.
Major cities include London (the capital), Birmingham, Sheffield, Leeds, Newcastle,
and Manchester. London is one of the most well-known cities in the world and for
many is representative of the whole of England, if not the whole of the UK.
Other icons include football, actors Jude Law and Kate Winslet, Bridget Jones, pubs
and beer. But for most these represent the whole of the UK, not just England.
Indistinct identity?
Many of the people in our survey, either English by birth or now living here,
commented that it was very difficult to distinguish between English and British
culture and identity. People found that they often identify more with other things
than with England as a country. These other things include: the place or region in
which they live, whether it be a major city or one of the English counties such as
Yorkshire, Devon or Northumberland; the UK as a whole; or the religious or ethnic
community they are from.

Франклин Делано Рузвельт (1882-1945) был 32-мы президентом США. Он был одним изьсамых популярных президентов в истории, так как он руководил Америкой в периоды Великой Депрессии и Второй Мировой войн. В августе 1921 года, в 10-летнем возрасте Рузвельт заразился полиомиелитом, который привёл к постоянному параличу снизу до талии. Облегая свои бёдра и ноги железными скобами, он засталял себя ходить на короткие дистанции. Находясь в одиночестве, он использовал инвалидное кресло, но никогда не делал этого на людях. На публике он обычно появлялся стоя ровно, но для этого один из сыновей оказывал ему поддержку.

В субботу прошлой зимой, мои лучшие друзья Эми, Манна, Грэг, Энди и я решили провести выходные в большой старом доме моего дяди в деревне. Был сильный ветер на улице (шторм), поэтому мы решили провести уютный вечер, болтая все вместе в гостиной внизу.
<span>Вдруг мы услышали мощный порыв ветра. Лампочки вспыхнули и погасли совсем. «Что это было?’ — сказал я. «Не волнуйся. Джон, просто выключилось электричество,’ — успокоил меня Грег. Мы смеялись и рассказывали страшные истории в темноте. Через некоторое время была яркая вспышка молнии, которая осветили всю комнату. Раздался громкий вздох. «Энди нет!’ — закричала Эми.
</span>
Мы все смотрели друг на друга сконфуженно и испуганно, потому что никто не видел, как Энди вышел комнату. Мы ходили по дому, звали Энди, но ответа не было. Мы вернулись в гостиную, и попытался придумать, что делать дальше. И тут раздался громкий храп из угла комнаты. В этот момент дали свет. Энди, крепко спал на большом бархатном диване!
Энди сел, сонно потирая глаза. «О, хорошо, свет дали!» — сказал он. Я спал и почувствовал, что хочу чихнуть. Я не хотел, чтобы кто-то сел на меня и устроился тут».
Мы все вздохнули с облегчением<span>.</span>
