Co znaczy figuratively and literally ?
A:
Figuratively means something that can be symbolic or metaphorical. Usually they are used as figures of speech such as "my hands are frozen". That phrase would be use figuratively. Even though your hands aren't actually frozen it means they are very cold.
Literally means something that is actual or precise. If you were to drive somewhere and it took you an hour to get there because of traffic, you could say "the traffic was so bad the drive literally took me an hour."
