English Synonyms and Antonyms
thin
Fine (Latin finis, end) denotes that which has been brought to a full end, finished. From this root-sense many derived meanings branch out, causing words quite remote from each other to be alike synonyms of fine. That which is truly finished, brought to an ideal end, is excellent of its kind, and beautiful, if a thing that admits of beauty; as, a fine house, fine trees, a fine woman, a fine morning; if a thing that admits of the removal of impurities, it is not finished till these are removed, and hence fine signifies clarified, clear, pure, refined; as, fine gold. That which is finished is apt to be polished, smooth to the touch, minutely exact in outline; hence fine comes to be a synonym for all words like dainty, delicate, exquisite; as, fine manners, a fine touch, fine perceptions. As that which is delicate is apt to be small, by an easy extension of meaning fine becomes a synonym for slender, slight, minute, comminuted; as, a fine thread, fine sand; or for filmy, tenuous, thin; as, a fine lace, fine wire; and as a thin edge is keen, sharp, fine becomes also a synonym for these words; as, a fine point, a fine edge. Compare BEAUTIFUL; MINUTE.
Synonyms:
beautiful, clarified, clear, comminuted, dainty, delicate, elegant, excellent, exquisite, fine, gauzy, handsome, keen, minute, nice, polished, pure, refined, sensitive, sharp, slender, slight, small, smooth, splendid, subtile, subtle, tenuousAntonyms:

How to use thin in a sentence?
I don't think we saw a major schism open up between Russia and China, i see this as a continuation of China trying to walk its pretty thin line on Russia and to make sure that it is continuing to support Russia to the extent that it can without infringing on its own interests.
Jerry Rhodes, a 47-year veteran of the Dallas Police Department, joined Point 27 after the organization sent 3,500 dog tags to them following a 2016 shooting that killed five police officers. I think the tag gives an officer something to hold on to and look at when times get tough, having and wearing the tag gives the officers a sense of peace and reminds them that someone cares about them. Since 2018, Point 27 has honored every fallen officer killed in the line of duty by offering gifts totheir relatives and their agency. The fallen includeofficers killed by illnesses related to 9/11and, this year, those who died from COVID-19. CLICK HERE FOR THE FOX NEWS APP The ultimate goal is to equip every law enforcement officer in the country with a gift of the Thin Blue Line Shields of Strength, Army Col. David Dodd said. Point 27 has equipped more than 111,000 officers across the country which is about 10 percent. In the wake of the coronavirus, Point 27 also sent 6,000 dog tags to eight hospitals in New York City engraved with Joshua 1:9, which reads :.
