Strange for Dummies

Hey there! Let me explain to you what the word "strange" means. "Strange" is used to describe something that is not familiar or usual to us. It's like when you see or experience something that is different from what you normally see or experience.

Imagine you have a favorite lunch spot where you always get the same sandwich. One day, you decide to try a new sandwich with ingredients you've never had before. That sandwich might taste strange to you because it's not what you're used to. Your taste buds might find it a little odd or unusual.

Now, let's think about another example. Have you ever seen an animal that you've never seen before, like a platypus? It has a duck-like bill and webbed feet like a duck, but it also has a beaver-like tail and lays eggs! When you first see a platypus, it might look strange to you because it's different from any other animal you've seen.

So, "strange" means something that is out of the ordinary, something that catches our attention because it's different or unusual. It can describe things, animals, people, or even behaviors that we're not accustomed to.

There's also another meaning for "strange." It can describe a feeling of being a bit uncomfortable or uneasy. For example, if you were in a new place where everything is unfamiliar, you might feel strange. It's like when you enter a room full of people you don't know and you might feel a little awkward or strange until you start making new friends and feel more comfortable.

So, "strange" can describe something that is not typical or familiar, as well as a feeling of discomfort or uneasiness."
