Vocabulary
Hello everyone,
I know that "warm" is the opposite of "cool", but is "hot" the opposite of "cool" as well?
I know Therausus regards "cool" and "cold" or "warm" and "hot" as simliar words.
My second question is:
Do you regard "old" as the opposite of "modern" or "traditional" as the opposite of "new"?
Regards????,
Joseph

0I once read an article that discussed eight different ways that words can be opposites. (I don't remember any of them because this was a long time ago.)
One of the examples there was "What's the opposite of 'buy'?". Adults answered 'sell', but one child answered 'make it yourself at home'.
