Hm. That is actually a pretty cool website. I've been looking for an alternative to google translate. The Wiktionary can be a little tedious at times.

But how would I use this to prove that "state" and "government" are generally synonymous in most practical contexts?

@etuomaala I'm not @LinkOpensChest_wav but I would like to chime in.

But how would I use this to prove that “state” and “government” are generally synonymous in most practical contexts?

You wouldn't need to, because we're not talking about "most practical contexts".

We're only talking about contexts in which people are protesting the actions of a government.

And in this context, "state" and "government" are synonymous?

[–] livus@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

@etuomaala normally, yes.

If a word has more than one meaning but one of the meanings is a synonym for the subject which is being talked about, it's a safe bet that this is the intended meaning in that context.

I think maybe a dictionary might be better here than just a translator.
