  1. While “vice versa” and “opposite” are related, they don’t mean the same thing.

    “Vice versa” means “the other way around” or “the reverse of what was just said.” It’s used when two things can switch places or roles.
    Example: “She likes him, and vice versa.” (He likes her too.)

    “Opposite” means something completely different or contrary in nature or direction.
    Example: “Hot is the opposite of cold.”

    So, vice versa is about swapping or reversing roles or order, while opposite refers to being fundamentally different or contrary.
