Generic property

Hi kiddo! Have you ever heard of the word "generic"? It means something that is not specific to just one thing, but can apply to many different things.

Now, let's talk about "property." Do you know what a property is? It's something that someone owns, like a house or a car.

So, when we talk about a "generic property," we mean a type of property that can be applied to many different things. For example, when we say "color" is a generic property, we can use it to describe the color of a house, a car, or even your favorite toy.

Another example of a generic property is "size". We can use this property to describe the size of a ball, a shirt, or a book.

So, a generic property is like a word that we can use to describe many different things. It's not specific to just one thing, but can be applied to lots of things.
