What are the synonyms for the word ‘idea’ in Slovenian?

As with every other language, Slovenian often has more than one way of expressing the same thing – the synonyms (sopomenke). So, the word idea can be ideja, zamisel or domislica in Slovenian, and all the three words can be used interchangeably; however, the first one, ideja, is the most commonly used, whereas domislica is heard very rarely. You will notice that many Slovenian words which have synonyms are similar to English ones. The following words, for example, are easy to recognize even for non-Slovenian speakers: atmosfera, center, insekt, originaldialekt, and so on.

Synonyms are words of the same part of speech (verbs, nouns, adjectives and adverbs), and below, there are a few examples of Slovenian synonyms for a host of English words.
