DM>> Is it synonyms?
AH> No, "all" and "also" are not synonyms.
AH> Occasionally we can omit letters or entire words in English
AH> without changing the meaning. But "also" seems to be a contraction of "all
AH> so", i.e. the translation of a word from Old English. That's as brief as
AH> it gets. :-Q
:-Q - what is from your mooth?
AH>> When my usual resources define "strainer" as "sieve"
AH>> and vice versa, I'd say they regard these two words
AH>> as synonyms (n.)... or as synonymous (adj.)
AH>> *with each other*. Synonyms are words which have +/- the same
AH>> meaning.... :-)

DM>> What is synonym of 2 of them?
AH> It's often said there are no exact synonyms in English...
AH> and while the "rule" may have "exceptions", a pair like this is all I
AH> can come up with.
:-( I do not know, Ardith.
AH> Since you are interested in cooking, however... the larger
AH> version, equipped with three or four legs & used to drain bulky food
AH> items like cooked spaghetti or fresh lettuce leaves, is known around
AH> here as a "colander". :-)
Android Collaider? ;-)
