Figurative(ly)

Definition: The word "figurative" in English means representing or depicting something as if it were a symbol, figure, image, etc., with words, sounds, movements, actions, colors, etc. It refers to the idea that things can be described or represented in different ways and that some of them are more realistic or expressive than others. For example, you might say "his face was like a rock" when describing someone's physical appearance because it implies that their features resemble something solid or heavy and doesn't allow for much movement or change. You could also say "the sky was like a rainbow" as if the clouds were painted on a canvas with vibrant colors and patterns, which makes them look more realistic and full of life than real skies. Some examples of figurative language include metaphors (e.g., "his face was like a rock"), similes (e.g., "he looks like a cat"), and personification (e.g., "the sky is the color of the rainbow").
