Related vocabulary words

As promised, here is one of my lists of related vocabulary words. I find making these lists helps me to understand the subtler differences and nuances of similar words... maybe they will help you all too!

This list's theme: "Differences"

разнообразие (noun) difference

для разнообразия (phrase) for a change

разновидность (noun) variety, type, kind (of people)

разница (noun) difference

какая разница? (phrase) What's the difference?/What difference does it make?

разнобразить (impf. verb--no perf. form) to vary

разнобразный (adjective) different, various, diverse

To practice these words I usually write out several sentences with each, using sentences that accentuate the subtle differences between each so I have a better understanding of when each word would be applicable.

I hope these lists will be helpful to you, and if I made any mistakes, feel free to correct me!
