I looked them up [STRIKE]at[/STRIKE] in a dictionary but [STRIKE]all[/STRIKE] both meanings [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] were close[STRIKE]d[/STRIKE] together; ([STRIKE]all[/STRIKE] both words mean[STRIKE]ing[/STRIKE][STRIKE]=>[/STRIKE] 'answer'). , I don't understand when to use [STRIKE]what[/STRIKE] which word?!
Can somebody tell me what isthe difference between them, with examples?

Than[STRIKE]x[/STRIKE]ks

There is often very little practical difference in meaning between the verbs or the nouns., though we tend to use reply when there is not a direct question:

Futtershaw looked accusingly at Postule. "I didn't see you at the conference."
"Well, I din't spend much time in the bar," replied Postule sarcastically.

Hi
For my questions, I founded this context in the internet:

Reply and answer are both synonymous though both are used in different contexts
 
An [B]answer[/B] is a reaction to a question in writing or speech that proposes a solution.
A [B]reply[/B] can be in response to a question or it can merely be a response to a statement
A [B]response[/B] is generally a reaction to something, not necessarily a verbal one; for example 
The bodies response to a virus is not another virus.  Therefore, the immune response is not a 
reply to the virus

Is this true? Please explain to me more with example, if was possible!

I found couple similar thread but none of them haven't complete response!

I still didn't fully justified (?understood)! Please explain to me more!

Thanks

Cut and paste the notice at the top of this page into a translator, and translate it into your own language. I think you will discover for yourself the weaknesses of this type of translation.
