Hi again, my dear friends!
As my first blog on American synonyms attracted your attention, I hope the second will also arouse your interest and we all will have a lot of fun here! Ha-ha-ha!
So, you know what to do, don’t you? You should find American synonyms of the given British words. As always, I will comment your replies and give you some hints. Sure, if you are not sure what is on the picture, you can always ask me to explain.
Well, here is the list of British words:
White coffee - latte
Aperitif - appetizer
Main dish - entree
Garnish/trimming - side dish
Holiday - vacation
Party frock/dress - evening gown
Tram - streetcar/trolley car
Windscreen- windshield
Candy floss - cotton candy
Jacket potato - baked potato
Indicator - blinker/turn signal
Queue - line
High street - main street
First floor - second floor
Block of flats - apartment building.
Dear friends! Living in America, I may have some doubts about a few given British words, I mean I am unsure if they are only British or common. So, if you are a British native speaker or live in the UK, I will be thankful for the corrections or explanations if any. But because of the same reason, I have no doubts in the American synonyms you should find. So, go ahead!
Let May 30 be the deadline, OK?
Have a lot of fun and great weekend!
June 2. My friends! I have posted the correct answers. The test is over. Thank you all!

Thank you, dear ladies! I hope, it was a useful lesson. From now on, you won't be lost or starve in America! Ha-ha!
Have a great weekend!
Dear Danny & Tanya!
I'm also thankful to you both, found you here with us so that we can learn....:-)
Thank you.......:-)
Thank you for sharing the answers and giving us the opportunity to learn American synonyms, dear Teacher Danny.
I feel bad for not completing the test. I just got lazy. :)
You are always welcome! Now, you know!
I knew about appetizer, since sometimes I watch Master Chef program on TV. But, I thought aperitif here is a kind of baverage. :D I didn't think that appetizer could be a beverage. Ha..ha...
Hi, my friends! I was out of here for some days but, as I see, there is no more activity.
Well, before posting the correct answers, I'd like to reply to Onee's comment.
My dear friend! In this competition you are one of the best and most of all, I like your answer ha-ha-ha for No2! LOL! You, ladies, make my life so bright and senseful! Thank you so very much!
So, I am posting the correct answers. Here they are:
Thanks everyone for taking part! I hope my tests enriched your vocabulary a little. You proved to be so intelligent, purposeful, so curious and humorous and so very friendly! I love you all and each of you! And here are the flowers for the best part of the humanity! Thank you all for being with us!
Dear Onee! YES! Only 2 and 4 are wrong, but you will not be able to guess them! I will tell you in the personal message, OK?
As to Danny, he is already punished! I left him alone yesterday(he had deserved that!) and he felt bored! So, he stuck his nose into others business (I mean, my business). So, from now on, he will be sleeping on the coach in our living room downstairs. It is the worst punishment for him! Ha-ha! Take it easy!
Thank you very much for your guidance, teacher Tanya. You helped me a lot on teacher's Danny's test, but why did teacher Danny help members a lot on your game word? :D :D
I'm always glad to have you here and being around to help us learning English, and also being our friend. :)
