What is the difference between simile and similar?

Answer 1

A simile compares two things with like or as, example: "She was as angry as a bull!" A synonym is something that means that same thing as a certain word. Synonyms for angry would be furious, mad, and upset.

Answer 2

A simile is a noun. The word simile means a figure of speech comparing two concepts/words/objects/"things" by using a preposition such as "like."

* "The American tourist was like a fish out of water." * "The moon was like a lantern." * "He ran like the wind."

But, you can use different prepositions.

* "She was as graceful as a dancer." * "The horse was as black as night."

A simile is not the same as a metaphor. In a metaphor we do not use a preposition and instead "metaphorically" equate one thing with another."The wine dark sea"

* "He was a raging bull." * "The desert was an oven."

Similar is an adjective. It is a different part of speech. To say two things are similar is to compare them and find that they have more things in common (similarities) than they have differences.

* "This blackberry jam tastes very similar to raspberry jam." * "Hamsters and gerbils look so similar I can barely tell them apart."

This sentence contains both a simile and the word similar.

* "The sisters were as similar as two peas in a pod."

Answer 3

Metaphors are used when you say something is something else. Similes are used when you say something is like or as something else.

For example:

1. The sun was a ball of fire. This is a metaphor.
2. The sun was like a ball of fire. This is a simile.

Metaphors are stronger in comparison to similes.

Answer 4

a similie for example: "her eyes were shining like the moon" ore "he was as useless as a platypus"

An adjective for example: 'the sky ske was "gorgeously" blue yeaterday' or 'her hair were "silky" smooth'

adjectives are just words u use to describe stuff more in depth or craetively, while, similies are a poetic type of describing wher uyou compare two different thing using as or like
