What does Cement really mean?

78 1

Alright, so "cement" is a material that we use in construction. It's kind of like glue that holds things together, but way stronger. When we mix cement with water, it turns into a hard, strong substance that we use to stick bricks or stones together when building things like houses, bridges, or sidewalks.

Cement can also refer to something that makes a relationship or agreement stronger and more fixed, like a metaphorical glue. For example, if two people have a strong friendship, you might say that their shared experiences and trust act as the cement that holds their friendship together.

So, just to sum it up, cement can be both a physical material used in construction and a metaphorical term for something that strengthens a bond or connection between people or things. I hope that makes sense! Let me know if you have any more questions.
