App Description

Does "apparently" have the same meaning as "seemingly"? When do you say "great", "brilliant", "super" or even better "interesting" or "inspiring"? Is there a difference between "itself" and "self"?

It is not always easy to find the suitable expression, the correct word or the correct nomination. Use the present most comprehensive collection of synonyms of the German language: the current 5th edition of the Duden dictionary of synonyms, then you will always have the most suitable expression at hand.
The stylistic, regional, chronological and technical term allocation and description of the synonyms make it easy to find the suitable expression.

Features of the dictionary:

• 300,000 synonyms of over 20,000 current and frequently used keywords
• Numerous information boxes on phrases and tips on how to use controversial words
• Exact stylistic, regional, chronological and technical term allocation of the synonyms
• Clear structures and a direct link to related word/search boxes
• Alternative expressions for over 200 sayings (e.g. instead of the phrase "the be-all and end-all" the following synonyms: "focal point", "the most essential", "the most important", "the crux of the matter"; "pivot point", "central issue", "main point" and "main issue".)
