i need a synonym and antonym for dowry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Favorite Answer
In some cultures, the bride is expected to bring gifts to her husband or to the husband’s family in exchange for his taking her. That’s the dowry.
In other cultures, the husband is expected to give a gift to the bride’s family. That’s the bride price.
In cultures that practice neither, some girls keep “hope chests” in which they accumulate treasures like hand-embroidered pillow cases and linens to be used after they are married. I”m not aware of a male equivalent, but it may exist.
Firstly, for 1), you mis-spelled one of the words. The third word should be inculcate — to impress on somebody’s mind: to fix something firmly in somebody’s mind through frequent, forceful repetition. 1) Strengthen & Debilitate. (A) The two words are antonyms of each other, since they mean opposite things. (Debilitate means to weaken, which is obviously the opposite of strengthen!). 2) Corrosive & Caustic. (S) The two words are synonmys of each other. In chemistry, the two words mean the same thing: “able to destroy something progressively by chemical action”. 3) Munificent & Parsimonious. (A). The two words mean opposite things. Munificent is very generous in giving a lot of money, while parsimonious means very frugal (spends very little or none at all) or ungenerous. 4) Duplicitous & Forthright. (A). The two words mean opposite things. Duplicitous means the fact of being deceptive, dishonest, or misleading, while forthright means direct in speech or manner and very honest. & finally, 5) The two words that most closely form a pair of synonyms or antonyms are Ouster & Emissary. But, technically speaking, given the definitions of the 4 words, none of the words qualifies as a synonym or antonym of any of the others. Make sure you have correctly copied down the group of words for this one. I hope this helps. Good luck to you in all your endeavours. Take very good care and have yourself a most joyous day, every day. Love And Light Cogano
