ow you need to press the open hatch button open hatch that one there greetings yes greetings we have brought you here because we do not understand wait why did you take your shirt off thought you were going to do experiments on me no put it back on we just want to know about figurative language yes it's very confusing okay so figurative language is the use of figures of speech or language that isn't literally true to describe something there are actually many types of figurative language but the most common ones are similes metaphors and hyperbole yep interesting perhaps you could help us understand some examples yes our scanners picked up your crush talking about you and she said he is like brother to me does this mean you are related well think she was using simile please explain this simile to us so simile is way of describing something by saying it is like or as something else for example if you want to say someone has beautiful eyes you could say her eyes sparkled like diamonds you know it's simil because it uses that word like here's another example if someone says something hurtful you could describe it with simp simly by saying his words cut Like Knife ow or if someone has cold hands you could say his hands were as cold as ice and you know this is similar because it uses that word as another example could be these cookies are as hard as rocks which emphasizes how stale or overcooked they are so when your crush says he is like brother to me it is simile that indicates she does not want to date you she definitely said like brother we have recording if you'd like no it's okay he's like brother to me he's like brother to me he's like brother to me we have another question last week when your friend was visiting your apartment he said to himself this place is dump can we empty the ship's sewage system there no guess he was using metaphor please explain this metaphor to us so basically metaphor is way of describing something by saying it is something else so remember how simile use like and as well metaphors usually use words like is am are was and were for example you could use metaphor like life is roller coaster to communicate that life is full of ups and downs you could also use metaphor like his stomach was bottomless pit to emphasize that someone can eat lot here's another example the rhythm is infectious obviously it doesn't mean that the song will make you sick but it communicates the idea that the song is as catchy as cold you might also use metaphor like I'm drowning in grief to describe how deeply you're grieving obviously you're not actually drowning but grief can feel very overwhelming and make it hard to breathe so when your friend thought this place is dump he was just thinking that your place was disgusting yeah somewhere no one would want to live okay get it just awful we have one more question let me guess somebody else said something bad about me no it was your crush again asan picked up her friend asking if she would dat you and she said wouldn't date him in million years yet the average human lifespan is 70 is your crush Immortal no think she was using hyperbole please explain this hyperbole to us all right so using hyperbole is way of describing something by making an exaggeration for example if you're trying to communicate that bag is really heavy you could use hyperb and say this bag weighs ton or you might have pimple and to emphasize how big it is you you could say you can see that pimple from space or if you want to emphasize how painful your shoes are you could say these heels are killing me okay so when your crush said wouldn't date him in million years she was just saying she really doesn't want to date you well there are plenty of other fish in the sea you want to date fish no that's just metaphor it means like there's probably someone else out there who wants to date me our scanners indicate there are no life forms who want to date you okay hey well can you just be me back to Earth now okay bye goodbye we'll miss you okay bye wow that was depressing I'll say yeah that guy was as pathetic as gor pizar see what did used to simile yes very good think you forgot to open the hatch again ow
