$entityTypesClient = new EntityTypesClient();
$projectId = '[MY_PROJECT_ID]';
$entityTypeId = '[ENTITY_TYPE_ID]';
$formattedEntityTypeName = $entityTypesClient->entityTypeName($projectId, $entityTypeId);

$entityType = $entityTypesClient->getEntityType($formattedEntityTypeName);
foreach ($entityType->getEntities() as $entity) {
    print(PHP_EOL);
    printf('Entity value: %s' . PHP_EOL, $entity->getValue());
    print('Synonyms: ');
    foreach ($entity->getSynonyms() as $synonym) {
        print($synonym . "\t");
    }
