Meaning (non-linguistic)

"Meaning" is like the special way something makes you feel or what it makes you think of. It's like when you see a picture of a cute puppy and it makes you feel happy and excited, that's the meaning of the picture. Sometimes things can have different meanings, like a stop sign means you need to stop your car, but it can also mean you need to slow down and be careful. It's kind of like a secret code that your brain uses to understand the world around you.
