Opposites — Antónimos

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

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".

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

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

Thanks for these.

The opposite of aquí could be ahí, allí, or allá. (hay = there is/there are)

blanca - negra (this has already been entered (we use the masculine form when listing adjectives that have both a masculine and a feminine form))

JPablo,
Gracias por tus correciones y clarificaciones. Una mas pregunta (one more question):
?hay un equivalente en español por estos antonimos: forward - backward? (is there an equivalent in Spanish for these antonyms: forward - backward)?
Gracias.
