Figurative meaning refers to a non-literal interpretation of words or phrases, often using metaphorical or symbolic language. Literal meaning, on the other hand, is the straightforward, dictionary definition of a word or phrase.
Example of figurative meaning: "She has a heart of gold." - This means she is kind and compassionate, not literally made of gold.
Example of literal meaning: "The book is on the table." - This means the book is physically placed on top of the table.
