Ejemplos:

Ella es muy guapa. She's really nice-looking.

Él está guapo conmigo. He's mad at me.

Correcto.

Generalmente, por lo menos en Chile se usa como good-looks, bravucón/pendenciero y osado/valiente.

Más opuestos

Ganadores - Perdedores

As Irma said, in Spanish they're called "antónimos". A Spanish speaker wouldn't be comfortable with "opuestos", I think. :thinking:

Are children taught words in pairs like this, call it whichever you will...??

AngelicaDeAlquezar April 11, 2010 06:49 PM

Sure, they learn synonyms and antonyms in first years of school... and in Plaza Sésamo (Sesame Street) :D ...but it's nothing "specially special". ;)

I'll add to the list as soon as I have some time to check the English translations. :)

I have more trouble understanding "Plaza Sésamo" than I do the Spanish "Noticias"..... :) Well, call them whichever is the most acceptable word in Spanish, I want to learn these things like children would. Thanks, Malila!! :)

What I meant is that they do learn them, because they learn word classifications (sinónimos, antónimos, homófonos, etc.), but that's not something that keeps any special dedication in school programs.
AND: they are not "whichevers", but "antónimos". :p

I've added some pairs to the list. Please note, however, that there can be nuances in meanings and intensity for each word.
