Hyperbole is a figure of speech consisting of the deliberate use of exaggeration or amplification to expressively emphasize an idea, sensation or feature. It is a common figure of speech, present both in literature and in everyday speech. Through hyperbole, words are used exaggeratedly, beyond their normal limits, to create an effect of intensification or emphasis. It can be used to convey strong emotions, highlight features in a striking way, or even for humorous purposes. For example, in a sentence like "I'm starving", hyperbole is used to emphasize the feeling of intense hunger, exaggerating the expression "starving" to convey the idea that the person is very hungry.
