Metaphor and metonymy are both figures of speech used in language to convey meaning, but they operate in different ways. ### Metaphor A metaphor is a figure of speech that involves an implicit comparison between two unrelated things, suggesting that they are alike in a significant way. It does not use "like" or "as," which distinguishes it from a simile. Metaphors often create vivid imagery and can evoke emotions or ideas by describing one thing in terms of another.
