Is ¨ the TV is really too loud¨ a hyperbole?
If yes, what does it mean, if no why not?

I know someone already answered, but here is my answer:

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is no, because a hyperbole is "an exaggerated statement that is not meant to be taken literally" and "the TV is really too loud" is not exaggerating anything and is meant to be taken literally

The answer is no.

A hyperbole is a figure of speech used to overexaggerate a situation described by a person.

The TV is really too loud does not show over exaggeration because :

  • It describes the situation in a rational manner
  • It uses very basic language
