GRAMMAR: ANTONYMS

Assalamualaikum & Salam 1 Malaysia.

Ok. Petang tadi dah citer pasal synonym kan. Malam ni nak citer pasal antonym pulak. Kalau synonym kata sama maksud atau seerti, antonym pula merupakan kata berlawanan.

Seperti yang telah mami terangkan, kedua2 topik ni terkandung dalam Kertas 1 Bahasa Inggeris UPSR, soalan no 21. Kalau tak synonym, antonym lah yang disoalnya. So, make yourself well prepared.

Jika soalan no 21 bertanyakan kata berlawanan atau antonym, arahannya sebijik macam ni:-

Question 21
Choose the word that has the opposite meaning of the underlined word.

21. The blue book is thick but the red book is _______
A    heavy
B    light
C    thin
D    big

Ahhh... korang rase mana satu jawapan yang tepat? tik tok tik tok.. masa berjalan ni... Kalau jawapan anda C, betul lah tu. Thick membawa maksud tebal. Lawan tebal ialah tipis atau dalam BI, thin. Jawapan A dan B, saling kontras tapi takde kena mengena dengan soalan. Jadi salah. Manakala jawapan D pula, langsung tak masuk akal, jadi kira salah juga.

Ok? Kat sini mami akan senaraikan beberapa perkataan berlawan sebagai rujukan. Kalau nak lagi banyak, rujuk mana2 kamus antonim versi BI. atau anda boleh melayari laman web ni http://www.antonymsfor.com/ . Ini merupakan kamus antonim (antonym dictionary) percuma berbahasa Inggeris. Ader banyak perkataan di sana.
