What does Eaves really mean?

Alright, so "Eaves" is a word that we use to talk about the part of a roof that hangs over the walls of a building. You know how when it's raining, and you can stand right up against the building and stay dry because the rain isn't hitting you? That's because of the eaves. They keep the water from dripping down the walls and protect the area right next to the building.

The eaves also help to create a little bit of shade around the building, kind of like when you wear a hat to keep the sun off your face. It's like the roof is giving the building a little bit of extra protection.

So, when we talk about the eaves, we're talking about the part of the roof that does all of this, hanging down over the sides of the building. It's a pretty important part of the roof and it serves a really important purpose. And that's what "eaves" means.
