Answer #1

Figurative is the opposite of Literal. Its a system of analyzing language. Vivid, Expressive and imaginitive statements that are used to exagerate or alter the actual meaning of the words.

For example, the sentence “The ground is thirsty” is partly figurative because the word “Ground” has a literal meaning, but the ground is not alive and therefore neither needs to drink nor feels thirst.

And I am not sure what you mean by using it for a baby. Like, Bun in the oven? Not a literal bun in an oven…. ^_^
