ELIMSI Is a figure of speech which compare two persons or objects using the
words “like” or “as”
ROHAPETM Is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is denoting one kind of
object or idea is used in place of another to suggest and analogy

Are we now ready? Yes, Sir!

Let us open our ears and hearts as we discuss the
FIGURE OF SPEECH.

These are words of phrases that have a different

meaning aside from its literal definition.
For you to understand its meaning easily, let’s
have literal vs. figurative language.
Let’s take a look at this example:
 1. Her skin is whiter than the milk.
2. I told you to clean your room a million times.
The literal meaning of the first example is – the
skin is whiter than the milk. (which is impossible)
The second example has a literal meaning of
someone being told to clean her room one million
times. (Which is again impossible.)
Now the figurative meaning of the first example is
her skin is really white.
And the figurative meaning of the second example
is you are being told many times to clean your
room.
Another example is:
I watched the Spiderman Movie a million times.
Literal meaning of it is ___________?
Very good!
Figurative meaning is _________? You watched the Spiderman Movie a million times.

To start with our figure of speech, the first one is

 Precisely! Thank you, Gen. Is giving an attribute or characteristic of human to an
object or thing.
