  1. Welcome back guys. Today we will discuss about denotation versus connotation and I'll show you how one word can have two very different meanings and how this
  2. tiny difference can change the entire message. Let's jump into the quick explanation. The denotation of a word is its literal
  3. dictionary definition without any emotional or cultural meaning. You can say denotation is the basic and direct meaning you would find in a
  4. dictionary. On the other hand, the connotation of a word refers to the emotional, cultural or suggested meaning that goes beyond
  5. its literal definition. It can be positive, negative, or neutral depending on how the word is used and understood in context.
  6. You can think of connotation as the feeling or idea a word brings to mind. For example, let's take a word snake.
  7. Its denotative meaning is a legless reptile. While connotative meaning is a dishonest or dangerous person used in negative
  8. sense, cheap. Its literal meaning is low in price. While its conitative meaning is low in
  9. quality or in trustworthy again in negative sense. Childish dictionary meaning is related to
  10. behavior of a child. While connotative meaning can be in both ways innocent or pure positive and immature or silly negative
  11. fat. Its denotative meaning is larger in body size. It can be offensive or harsh if you say
  12. fat to anybody. Mental its literal meaning is related to the
  13. mind. While in slang it's offensive or dismissive implying someone is crazy,
  14. skinny. Literal meaning is very thin, while connotative meaning is unhealthy or underweight.
  15. Can you think of any other words that have a positive or negative connotation depending on how they're used? Drop your examples in the comments below. I'd love
  16. to read them. So we understand that denotation tells us the dictionary meaning of a word
  17. while connotation reveals the feelings, attitudes or ideas it carries. One word can sound positive in one context and negative in another. So always consider
  18. how your words feel, not just what they mean. Thanks for watching. If you liked our video, please like, subscribe, and also press the bell icon. Plus, don't
