Probably even a person who has just gone to kindergarten will say whether he has a friend or not. But what does this wonderful word mean from the point of view of the Russian language? Today we will understand this. In other words, we are interested in the meaning of the definition of “friend,” synonyms will also not be left without attention.
Value
The older we get, the less people who surround us, we can call friends in the true sense of the word. If you don’t open the dictionary, then someone who is always there, always ready to help, is called a friend. Spiritual kinship is also not excluded. And what does the dictionary say? After all, as you know, emotions are alien to him. So, in the explanatory dictionary the following meanings of the word “friend” are written (we will deal with synonyms a little later, when the meaning becomes known):
- One who is connected with someone's friendship. For example: "Kolya and Vasya are friends, they have known each other since school."
- Supporter, protector of someone or something. “Ivan Nikolaevich is such a wonderful teacher that the fame of a student friend was long entrenched in him, but, of course, without any familiarity.”
- Benevolent appeal to a loved one or a person in general. “- Friend, leave a smoke! “And in response - silence: yesterday he did not return from the battle.”
I would like to believe that the characteristic style of Vladimir Semenovich Vysotsky was recognized unmistakably in the last example. If not, then there is a pretext to join the work, to become a friend (you can choose a synonym yourself) of the famous poet.
Analogs
So, finally, you can announce the list of replacements for the object of study, in fact, why are we all here today. There he is:
- companion;
- ally;
- friend;
- acquaintance;
- adherent;
- supporter;
- follower;
- sidekick;
- Kent;
- brother;
- friendship;
- corefan;
- favourite;
- lover;
- nice;
- beloved.
Yes, an entire book can be written under the name "The word" friend "and synonyms." It is easy to see that there is a system in the analogues of the object of study. First come the words that replace the generally accepted, most common meaning (from 1 to 4), then already replace the “friend” in the second meaning (from 5 to 7), then the slang block (from 8 to 12), and close the definition list, which are suitable for replacing the "friends of the heart" of girls. We hope that the synonymous thirst of the reader is fully satisfied.
Friend is known in trouble?
There is such a common expression and belief that a friend is in need. Is it so? Usually yes. But there is one nuance that few people think about: trouble is, of course, a serious test for friendship, but even more serious is testing with copper pipes, that is, when one succeeds and the other remains in the same place as before. In fact, joy is what people really feel for strength. A man will always find two hundred of those who cry with him, but will there be at least one who laughs with him? Especially when the companion is neither hot nor cold. Of course, slayers and loafers have fun together with their "friend" and benefactor in the hope of profits, and sincere joy, not spoiled by profit and self-interest, is possible? The big question. Therefore, it is not so difficult to find a synonym for the word "friend", how to find a real ally, brother in arms. But let’s not fall into despair. There are few good people, but they are. Therefore, friends, comrades (the phrase is written that way), this is not the time to lose heart.
