Thank you so much. Your response was exactly what I was looking for. I didn't have any context because all I wanted were synonyms so that I would have to keep using "dijo" when decribing dialogue in spanish.

These, and many others, are used in Spain, but also in Latin America.

Careful with context, though.

¿sinónimos? ¿de una forma verbal?

1) dijo, dijiste, dijo, etc. pueden tener una sola traducción en inglés, pero no por eso son sinónimos. El sujeto y el tiempo verbal están incluidos en la forma verbal.

2) por otro lado me parece imposible contestar una pregunta así sin contexto o por lo menos una frase.
