Definitions and Meaning of simile in English

simile noun

  1. a figure of speech that expresses a resemblance between things of different kinds (usually formed with `like' or `as')

    உவமையணி

Description

A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two things. Similes differ from metaphors by highlighting the similarities between two things using comparison words such as "like", "as", "so", or "than", while metaphors create an implicit comparison. This distinction is evident in the etymology of the words: simile derives from the Latin word similis, while metaphor derives from the Greek word metapherein. As in the case of metaphors, the thing that is being compared is called the tenor, and the thing it is being compared to is called the vehicle. Author and lexicographer Frank J. Wilstach compiled a dictionary of similes in 1916, with a second edition in 1924.

தமிழிலக்கணத்தில், உவமையணி என்பது ஒரு புலவர் தான் பிறருக்குக் கூறக் கருதிய பொருளை அவருக்கு நன்கு தெரிந்த ஒன்றைக் காட்டி விளக்குவது ஆகும். ஒரு பொருளை இன்னொரு பொருளுடன் ஒப்பிட்டு அழகுபடுத்திக் கூறுவதாம்.
