English Synonyms and Antonyms
brutal
Whatever is not civilized is barbarian; barbaric indicates rude magnificence, uncultured richness; as, barbaric splendor, a barbaric melody. Barbarous refers to the worst side of barbarian life, and to revolting acts, especially of cruelty, such as a civilized man would not be expected to do; as, a barbarous deed. We may, however, say barbarous nations, barbarous tribes, without implying anything more than want of civilization and culture. Savage is more distinctly bloodthirsty than barbarous. In this sense we speak of a savage beast and of barbarous usage.

How to use BRUTAL in a sentence?
We will respond with a heavy hand to the brutal murder of Jews who came to pray and were killed by lowly murderers.
This is a coward, a child molester, and a brutal murderer of a woman who loved him so much, he's cunning, he's smart, a former cop, and lucky. And someday his luck's gon na run out.
It is clear that this is how Bashar al-Assad operates: with brutal, unabashed barbarism, it is also clear that this horrific conflict, now in its seventh year, demands a genuine ceasefire and the supporters of the armed combatants in the region need to ensure compliance. We call upon Russia and Iran, yet again, to exercise their influence over the Syrian regime and to guarantee that this sort of horrific attack never happens again. As the self-proclaimed guarantors to the ceasefire negotiated in Astana, Russia and Iran also bear great moral responsibility for these deaths.
Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop:
I can confirm that the Australian government is currently seeking to independently verify reports that 18-year-old Melbourne teenager Jake Bilardi has been killed in a suicide bombing attack in the Middle East, if these reports are confirmed, this is another tragic example of a young Australian being lured to a senseless and violent death by a brutal terrorist organization that is intent on imposing suffering and misery not only in Iraq and Syria but beyond.
Atlantic Equities analyst Chris Wheeler:
The first quarter has been brutal, and has revealed the extent to which the fixed cost base – IT, infrastructure, salaries - absorbs a large portion of the much lower revenues, the biggest culprit remains FICC, which continues to also be a very capital intensive business.
