Synonyms & antonyms
  • Synonym一斉にいっせいにNeutralFor many people or things acting all together, as in 「一斉に走り出す」; stresses moving in unison rather than two things merely overlapping in time.
  • Synonym同時どうじNeutralA noun meaning 'the same time', mostly in compounds like 「同時通訳」; it cannot stand alone as an adverb, so it will not replace 「同時に」 in a sentence.
  • Synonym一度にいちどにNeutralDoing everything in a single go, as in 「一度に二つ持つ」; the focus is on one occasion or amount, not on two events sharing the same time.
  • RelatedともにWrittenWritten/formal prose for 'together, jointly', as in 「家族と共に」; stresses accompanying someone rather than timing.
  • RelatedいっぺんにCasualColloquial: getting everything done in one go, as in 「いっぺんに片付ける」; keep it to speech, not formal writing.
  • Antonym順次じゅんじNeutralThe antonym: things done one after another in sequence, the opposite of doing them at the same time.

Default: 「同時に」 for two things happening at the same time, or 'just as...'. For a group acting in unison use 「一斉に」; for everything in one go 「一度に」 or colloquial 「一遍に」; 「共に」 is formal prose for 'together with'; 「順次」 is the opposite: one after another.
