Do those have the same meaning? (Part 3)
I found yet other pairs of words that appear to be synonyms - at least for me.
So my question is, whether those two/three words have the same or a different meaning:

1) 眠る and 寝る: Can I say both テントで寝る。 and テントでねむる。?
2) Is there a difference between 準備, 予習 and 用意? Or do all three mean "preparation"?

Thanks a lot for reading and in advance for helping me. :)

Answer

Hello

1） 寝る＝ね る （ねむ る wrong）  眠る＝ねむ る （ね る wrong）

ex. テントで寝る（テントでねる）
ex. 居眠りをする（いねむりをする）

"寝る" is used "the state".
"眠る" is "Act" or "movement".

2） 準備 or 用意 ＝ preparation    
But "予習" is a little different.
予習＝ preparation for lesson

Answer

Thanks for your help, Tom!

Answer

2)予習　is preparation  for future class or examination .
予 means beforehand and 習 means learn.
準備=用意
