What does Caption really mean?

Alright, so when we talk about a "caption," we're basically talking about a little bit of text that goes along with a picture or a diagram. It's sort of like a description or explanation of what's happening in the picture. You know when you're looking at a comic strip and there's some words in a little bubble above the character's head? Well, that's kind of like a caption. It helps you understand what's going on in the picture.

But a caption can also be used in a different way. Sometimes, when you're watching a TV show or a movie, there might be some words that pop up on the screen to tell you what someone is saying in a different language, or to give you some extra information about what's happening. Those words are also called captions. They help you understand what's going on, even if you can't hear or understand everything that's being said.

So, in simple terms, a caption is just some words that help you understand or explain a picture or a video. It's like a little helper that makes things clearer for you. Cool, right?
