Figure of speech

 

figure of speech

let's learn together, I also don't really understand this, but from what I read on the internet. Reporting from Brittanica, figurative is an expression or figure of speech used for literacy needs both oral and written. Speech images serve to beautify English words which are usually used to write song, poetry, and even prose. (dalam bahasa indonesia figurative of speech = majas)

in the figurative of speech there are several examples such as simile, hyperbole, metaphor personification, etc.

hyperbole

this hyperbole tense seems to exaggerate something. 

example:

I've told you to stop a thousand times.

That must have cost a billion dollars.

I could do this forever.

She's older than dirt.

Everybody knows that.

personification

the point is that the sentence used in the sentence gives a picture of the object as if the object is alive. 

example:

The flowers nodded.

Dancing snowflakes.

The thunder grumbled.

The mist slipped in.

The wind howled.

metaphor

It is a figure of speech used to compare something or an idea.

example:

Heart of stone

Time is money

The world is a stage

She’s a night owl

falling in love

simile 

is a figure of speech that compares or presupposes something or an object. Sometimes, similes like to be confused with metaphors which also have a form of comparison. In fact, simile and metaphore have different structures. Simile has the characteristics of the words like, as, or similar to. 

example:

As slippery as an eel

Like peas in a pod

As blind as a bat

Eats like a pig

As wise as an owl
