Antonyms

[Zaakjes]

So, does anyone know the antonyms of 'finally' and 'relaxation'?

Thanks again!

 

[FrisianDude]

Would 'initially' work for the first one?

 

[Zaakjes]

I think it's right. 

 

[Swadius 2.0]

Exhortation?

 

[Zaakjes]

I was personally thinking of exertion, but I'm not sure.

 

[socks]

I'd say 'immediately' and 'tenseness'.

 

[Zaakjes]

Okay, changed title.

Some more antonyms I can't figure out.

- compulsory
- to follow suit

thanks for helping. 

 

[Llew2]

Voluntary.

To precede?

 

[Brestos]

"Compulsory" would be "Optional"? I'm learning too!
And according to Thesaurus.com, "To follow suit" which i did'nt know the meaning would be the antonym of "to be original"...

Shhhh, it's good vocabulary practice for these guys. 

 

[Zaakjes]

I think both of Llews words are the best.

Wait, Raz, let me keep this one open, as I have to finish this english excercises book of 300 pages. I'll be needing help, and I don't wanna open multiple topics.

AfaIk his /thread wasn't meant as intention to lock it, and I don't think he CAN lock it.

 

[Tuckles]

To follow suit's antonym would be to set a trend or to be original, or to deviate.

 

[Orion]

Can you even technically have an antonym of a phrase?

 

[Tuckles]

Why not?

The phrase means something, the antonym means the opposite.

 

[Zaakjes]

Thanks guys.

Okay what's the antonym of 'to rely on'?

 

[AWdeV]

Not relying on?

 

[FrisianDude]

To be independent of?

 

[Zaakjes]

To distrust might be a better answer. 

Not relying on?

Nope.
