    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   
    AH> "all so", i.e. the translation of a word from Old English.  That's as   
    AH> brief as 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? ;-)
