Definition: Mental apprehension of whatever may be known, thought, or imagined; idea, concept.
Alright class, settle in, let’s take a look!
Today we're tackling the word "notion," a tricky one to grasp, you see.
The dictionary gives us this clue, quite clear:
“Mental apprehension of whatever may be known, thought, or imagined; idea, concept.”
Let's break that down in a way that’s easy for you. Think of “notion” as a little seed, you know?
It's not just a simple
idea
, bright and bold,
But a feeling, a sense, a story to be told.
It’s the
beginning
of an idea, a starting point so slight,
A
thought
that takes shape in your mind, shining bright!
Like when you have a “notion” for a painting grand,
Or a "notion" about a story, close at hand.
It’s the
initial
impression, the first little spark,
Before it grows into something truly dark… or really stark! 😉
So,
a notion
is more than just a word you speak,
It's a mental image, delicate and sleek.
Does that make sense? Do you have any questions for me? Let’s discuss!
