Color and Number Symbolism, Lesson 1 - 4 Review

２８日、２９日レッスンを受けています。

 

A play on words refers to an amusing use of a word that sounds like another word or has more than one meaning.

 

If a word/symbol/object stands for something, it means that it is used to represent that thing.

 

To make a fuss out of something means to pay too much unnecessary attention to it.
