do you see difference?

[majlo]

Hello,
Could you tell me whether you see any semantic difference between these two sentences?

We're not together any more.
We're no longer together.

Thank you in advance.

 

[petereid]

We're not together any more.
We're no longer together

They mean the same thing

 

[majlo]

petereid, I know they mean the same thing but my point is whether one of them is, by any chance, semantically stronger than the other one, or maybe one is more formal or informal than the other one or something like that?

To me, (AE), the first one says as though it were a matter of fact, casual. The second one sounds bitter.

 

[Cracker Jack]

Yes I agree. The second one is emotionally charged. But it depends on the tone of the speaker.

 

[moirag]

I don´t see that difference, but I´d say the second one´s more formal.

We're not together any more. This is the one most likely to be used in conversation,
We're no longer together. I'd expect a follow up to this satement.
We're no longer together since I found him with Sue.
sorry I'm a day late
