👉 To issue a command; to tell.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! You've got the dictionary right there, shining bright, And it tells us “bid” means “to issue a command,” with all its might. But let's dig a little deeper, don't you see? It’s more than just a simple "please" or "be!" “Bid” can mean to offer, a price you decree, Like at an auction, for all the world to see! Think of a contractor, with plans so grand, He “bids” for the job, across the land. Or maybe a king, with a royal plea, “Bid!” he commands, “Bring forth the treasury!” So "to issue a command" is part of the game, But "bid" also means offering – it’s not just a name! Does that make sense? Any questions to share? Let's discuss with care!
