Explanation
Meaning is the idea, sense, or message that something expresses. For example, the meaning of this story is to be kind to others. It is a noun, and it tells us what words, actions, or events represent. Understanding meaning helps people communicate clearly and learn new things. For example, knowing the meaning of a word helps you read and speak better, and understanding the meaning of a gesture (a movement of a part of the body) helps you communicate clearly with others without speaking.
