    Another word for...

    What is the correct formula for sentences like this?
    Другое слово для центра середина.
    (Intended meaning: Another word for center is midpoint.)
    Should the first word be nominative and the second accusative, both nominative, or what?
    Is there a better formula to use for this type of sentence? Are there more common alternatives?

    Другое слово для центра — середина.
    As usual, "to be" in the Present is null.

    Чем больше слов, тем меньше они стоят.

    Слово "центр" можно заменить словом "середина". (Хотя я бы не стал менять )

    'Центр' еще называют 'серединой'.
