Annotation: The word metaphor is derived from the Greek language, and metaphor means "to move", "to copy". Metaphor is a type of transfer of meaning based on external and internal similarity of an object, sign or action to another. In such cases, similarity in terms of color, shape, and characteristics of the object is assumed. The purpose of using metaphor in the speech process is to add more vitality and dynamism to the language in order to decorate it.
