princesa: mumsy thatz the way we were tot in d univ. Yoruba will call it 'Afiwe Tara' that is a direct comparison..if i want to compare you directly with princess diana ..i would say she is as beautiful as princess Diana but indirectly u r princess diana ...indirect comparison brings the question of how e.g he is a lion --people as how |
Re: Nairaland's Literature Quiz...you Can Join Anytime by princesa(f): 10:37pm On Aug 31, 2013 |
Divepen: and i don't doubt that comparisons such as that can be made, that's not my point! The example you gave are perfectno doubt. All am saying is that the real answer to ur question is metaphor and not simile, because a comparison without the use of 'as' or 'like' is called a metaphorical comparison... Now using your example, he is like/as a lion when it comes to meat = simile he is a lion when it comes to meat = metaphor do you get what i mean now! Phew! |
