metaphorical language

Metaphorical language is a way of describing something by comparing it to something else, not literally but to highlight similarities or create a vivid image. Instead of stating facts directly, it uses figurative expressions, like “time is a thief,” to suggest that time quietly takes things away. This language enriches communication, adds depth, and helps convey emotions, ideas, or complex concepts more effectively. It’s common in poetry, stories, and everyday speech, making descriptions more engaging and memorable by connecting familiar images with new or abstract ideas.
