something that goes well with something
Something that you have or use together with something else, usually to make it taste, look, or feel better, especially with food or drink.
الگوی کاربرد:
an accompaniment to [food/drink/thing]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use *company* instead of *accompaniment* when talking about food or objects (e.g. saying "Bread is a good company to soup"). Use *accompaniment* or *side dish* for food, and keep *company* for people or time spent with people. Also, remember the article: usually "an accompaniment" in singular.

supporting music for a main part
Music that is played to go with a singer or another main instrument.
الگوی کاربرد:
play [an] accompaniment for [someone/something]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may confuse *accompaniment* with *accompany* and say "he played accompaniment her" instead of "he played an accompaniment for her" or "he accompanied her". Remember: *accompaniment* is a noun (the music), while *accompany* is a verb (the action).

something that typically goes along with something
Something, often a feeling or condition, that usually happens at the same time as another thing.
الگوی کاربرد:
an accompaniment to [event/situation/feeling]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may overuse this formal noun in casual speech where a simpler phrase like "usually comes with" or "often goes with" is more natural. Also, they sometimes write *accompaniment of* instead of the more common pattern *accompaniment to* (e.g. "a common accompaniment to stress").
هممعنیها
companion (More general and less formal; can describe something that often goes together with something else, but also strongly used for people.)
|
by-product (Suggests something that comes as a side effect rather than just something that occurs alongside.)
متضادها
absence (If something is an accompaniment, it is present alongside something; its opposite is its absence in that situation.)
