Kesalahan umum:
Learners sometimes confuse "withal" with the common phrase "with all" and write things like *"I went to the party withal my friends."* This is incorrect; in modern English you should almost always use "with all" (two words) for this meaning. "Withal" is rare and mainly found in older or literary texts, often at the end of a clause (e.g. "brave withal"). In contemporary writing and speech, prefer "besides", "as well", or "in addition" instead of "withal".
Arti
in addition; besides; as well
Kolokasi
brave withal
|gentle withal
|kindly withal
|stern withal
|fragile withal
Sinonim
besides (Neutral and modern; can be used in almost all contexts where this sense of "withal" appears.)
|
in addition (More formal and explicit; often starts a new clause rather than appearing at the end like "withal".)
|
as well (Very common and informal-neutral; usually follows the item added, similar position to "withal".)
Antonim
only (Limits or restricts instead of adding more information.)

Kesalahan umum:
Learners may think "withal" here means the same as "with all" and try to use it in modern speech like *"Withal this traffic, I was late."* Modern English instead uses "with all this traffic" or a connector like "because of". In its contrast meaning, "withal" is now archaic; use "nevertheless", "nonetheless", or "still" instead.
Arti
nevertheless; despite that
Sinonim
nevertheless (Direct modern equivalent in most contexts, slightly formal but common.)
|
nonetheless (Very close in meaning; slightly more formal or literary than "nevertheless".)
|
still (More informal and common, often used in speech instead of "withal".)
Antonim
therefore (Introduces a logical result, whereas "withal" introduces a contrast or concession.)
