Similar if you're talking about words.
Adjacent if you're talking about relative positions.

Haba. Too many illiterates on this forum.

You've made your point.

But must you hurl insults?

All of you saying the opposite of opposite is opposite are Olodo rabata.

How can the opposite of Stand be Stand.
The opposite of Stand is Sit
The opposite of white is black
The opposite of Sky is ground
The opposite of Good is bad

How then can the opposite of opposite be opposite. You all are F9 candidates.

*********

To solve this problem you need to find another word for opposite.

Another word for opposite is "in front" which is also Adjacent.

"Put that thing opposite the box" means put that thing in front of the box or Adjacent the box.

"Can you see that man standing opposite the railway?"
Means Can you see that man standing in front of the railway or Adjacent the railway?

Therefore if Opposite, In front and Adjacent mean the same thing, then the opposite of Adjacent or in front is Behind.

Like, "Dont put it infront of it. Put it behind it!

Therefore, if the opposite of behind is In front which also means Adjacent, and Adjacent, Infront and opposite mean the same thing, then the opposite of opposite is Behind.

Behind is the answer.

Put it opposite the TV
Put it Behind the TV

Some of you should stand opposite the Table
Some of you should stand Behind the Table.

There are times you solve English grammar like you solve mathematical equations.

point of correction bro,the opposite of white is NOT black.

Though the nearest opposite to it is similar/antonym

But it is not every word that has an opposite?

Words without opposites are called UNPAIRED words.

Words that are their own opposite are called CONTRONYM or Janus words

Re: What Is The Opposite Of The Word 'Opposite'? by Hahjascho(m): 4:39pm On Feb 03, 2021

There's no specific word for the word "opposite" as the word is relative. Getting the antonyms of opposite depends on how it's being used in sentence.

You can only have different opposites of the words "opposite" based on how it's being used.

MR LECTURER, I HAVE POSTED THE ANSWER. IT IS "PROPOSITE".

OPPOSE-PROPOSE
OPPOSITE-PROPOSITE.

A guy can propose to a girl and the girl can oppose his proposal.
