Eş anlamlılar
flight attendant (The modern, gender-neutral term; more common than steward on airplanes.)
Zıt anlamlılar

to manage or guide carefully
To look after and manage people, money, land, or an event in a careful and responsible way.
Kullanım kalıbı:
to steward [something] through [a process / a period]

Learners sometimes use only manage where steward would be better, missing the idea of careful, responsible care. Also, steward is mainly used in formal or semi-formal contexts; in everyday conversation, manage is more common.
Eş anlamlılar
oversee (Focuses on supervising work or processes; steward adds a nuance of care and responsibility for long-term outcomes.)
Zıt anlamlılar
mismanage (Means to manage something badly, the opposite of stewarding it carefully and responsibly.)

Kullanım kalıbı:

Learners may confuse this meaning with the transport meaning and think stewards always serve food. At events, stewards usually guide people, check tickets, and help with safety, not food service.
Eş anlamlılar
usher (Focuses more on showing people to their seats; steward often includes safety and rule-enforcement duties.)
Zıt anlamlılar
