# Synonyms

Important

SCI0 only.

Synonyms are used to assign word groups to other word groups. They are listed in a synonyms block and take the form of:

    (mainword synonym1 synonym2 ...)

An example:

    (synonyms
            (get grab steal)
            ; you can add more entries here
    )
    ...
    (if (Said 'get')
       (Print "Hello")
    )
    ; so now if they type get, grab or steal, it will print "Hello"

The synonyms are activated when the `SetSynonyms()` kernel is called. The SCI0 template game automatically calls it, so you don’t need to worry about it.
