Idk, sorry.

Answer 11

ohhhh so connotation is like this: lets say we're talking negatively about someone (btw dont do that its mean) and someone says, "to me, theyre like HITLER!" when they said "to me theyre like hitler" that was connotation. so using words to take the meaning and/or exaggerate

Answer 12

Denotation is the word of choice and it's real dictionary definition.

Answer 13

So like relating it to someone else? Showing about how he's acting?

Answer 14

A word with positive connotation can be summer or icecream. Think of a racist word, it has negative connotation, you wouldn't use that word because of that.
