Synonym Chooser

How is the word formal distinct from other similar adjectives?

Some common synonyms of formal are ceremonial , ceremonious , and conventional . While all these words mean "marked by attention to or adhering strictly to prescribed forms," formal applies both to things prescribed by and to persons obedient to custom and may suggest stiff, restrained, or old-fashioned behavior.

How do ceremonial and ceremonious relate to one another, in the sense of formal ?

Ceremonial and ceremonious both imply strict attention to what is prescribed by custom or by ritual, but ceremonial applies to things that are associated with ceremonies.

When is ceremonious a more appropriate choice than formal ?

While in some cases nearly identical to formal , ceremonious applies to persons given to ceremony or to acts attended by ceremony.

When would conventional be a good substitute for formal ?

In some situations, the words conventional and formal are roughly equivalent. However, conventional implies accord with general custom and usage and may suggest a stodgy lack of originality or independence.
