Using synonyms with built-in analyzers

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

All,

Is it possible to use synonyms with out defining a custom analyzer.
Say i want to index documents using "english" analyzer and supply my synonyms as an array, how can i specify this without using a custom analyzer.
I can't seem to locate anything on the topic.

Thanks for the help!

No, you would need to redefine the analyzer entirely.
