A hyperbole is a type of exaggeration that is used in literature. It is a figure of speech. People exaggerate things because they have strong feelings about something. People may exaggerate to make people listen to what they say. They may do it to emphasize something. They may also exaggerate just to sound funny. Example Translation There was an Old Man with a beard, Who said, “It’s just as I feared! -Two Owls and a Hen, Four Larks and a Wren, Have all built their nests in my beard!”There was a Young Lady whose nose Was so long that it reached to her toes; So she hired an old lady, Whose conduct was steady, To carry that wonderful nose. (E. Lear) Был один старичок в бороде, Он сказал: «Так и знал, быть беде! Две совы и несушка, Корольки и кукушка Свили гнёзда в моей бороде! »Чудо-нос юной леди из Галлии При ходьбе упирался в сандалии. Но старушку нашла Ростом лишь в два вершка, Чтоб носить этот нос. Не встречали ли? Hyperbola There was an Old Man with a beard… There was a Young Lady whose nose… An idiom is a word or phrase which means something different from what it said- it is usually a metaphor.

Translation
Here lies a young salesman named Phipps,
Who married on one of his trips,
A widow named Block,
Then he died of the shock,
When he saw there were six little chips. Покоится здесь продавец,С которым пошла под венец,Вдова с потрохами,С шестью малышами, От чего и погиб молодец.(Долгова С.) Idiom
