Carica for Dummies

Hey there! So, "Carica" is actually a pretty interesting word with a couple of meanings. The first one is a verb that means to exaggerate or over-dramatize something. You know when someone tells a story and they make it sound way more exciting than it really was? That's "carica." It's like they're adding extra "spice" to the story to make it more entertaining.

The second meaning of "carica" is a noun, and it refers to a drawing or a portrait that exaggerates the features of a person in a funny or exaggerated way. It's like when you see those cartoons of famous people that make their noses super big and their eyes super small. That's a "carica" too!

So, when you hear someone say "Don't carica the story," they're basically telling you not to make it sound more exciting than it really is. And if someone shows you a drawing and says "It's a carica of you," they mean it's an exaggerated, funny portrait of you.

I hope that makes sense! Let me know if you have any questions or if you want me to give you more examples to help you understand better!
