When you are talking about figurative language, be sure to keep that figurative language in mind. You will be surprised what you think by the way you interact with others. You will start to see that most of what you say is the figurative language of your thoughts and feelings.
Most of our daily interactions are often figurative. It isn’t always the case, but most of the time it is. However, most of the time it’s just a reflection of our thoughts and feelings. It’s hard to say exactly what exactly is figurative language, but if you’re not careful, you will find yourself in one of the most common traps.
For example, if you are talking about buying a new car, you are probably using your figurative language with your thoughts. When you say you want a new car, you are thinking “I want a new car that I can drive, that fits my personality.
If you are talking about a new house, you are probably thinking, I want a new house that I can live in, that fits my personality.
That being said, there are a lot of languages out there that don’t have words for “I want a new car, a new house, or a new personality.” That’s one of the great dangers of figurative language. You might think that if you say you want a new car and a new house, you are using figurative language for your thoughts, but you are really doing it for the words themselves.
This is why it is important to understand figurative language. It can take different forms depending on the context. For example, if you are writing a letter in a business letter and you use figurative language, you are using figurative language to express your thoughts. But if you are using figurative language to express your thoughts, you are not making up your own thoughts, you are expressing what the writer thought was actually going on.
In fact, the figurative aspect to language can be so important that we will talk about it in some depth in the next lesson.
The most obvious example is that when you write as if you are talking to someone else, you are probably talking to yourself. And when you use figurative language to talk to yourself, you sound stilted and robotic. But if you use figurative language to talk to someone else, you sound as if you are trying to sound like them. Both of these are ways we can express ourselves.
It turns out that there is a third way that figurative language works, and that’s when you use figurative language to describe someone else but not yourself. This is a way that we can make ourselves sound like another person, and it’s an effective way to communicate emotions.
We all have that one friend who does all the right things and everything is fine. But in the wrong way, that person sounds robotic. But when we use figurative language to describe someone else but not ourselves, we sound like that person who is being too robotic. Our way of communicating is to use figurative language to describe other people but not ourselves.
