Metáfora

🧠 What does Metáfora mean?

A metáfora is a figure of speech that directly compares two unlike things without using comparison words like 'como' (like) or 'parece' (seems). It states that one thing is another thing, implying a shared quality or characteristic. Metaphors are powerful tools in language, used to create vivid imagery, convey complex ideas concisely, and evoke emotions. They are common in literature, poetry, and everyday conversation to add depth and expressiveness.
