Hello, dear readers of the blog site. All of us in our lives have said or heard similar expressions at least once (and some more than once): YOU ARE ALWAYS LATE or HAVEN'T SEEN SEEN FOR A HUNDRED YEARS.
And few people thought that these phrases were devoid of any common sense. So, a person simply cannot “always be late.” And it’s impossible for someone not to see each other for “a hundred years,” if only because people rarely live that long.
Such exaggerations in Russian are called hyperboles and they will be discussed in this publication.
Hyperbole is a beautiful exaggeration
This word itself is Greek - “hyperbole” and it means “excess, excess, exaggeration.”
Hyperbole is one of the means strengthening emotional assessment, which consists in excessive exaggeration of any phenomena, qualities, properties or processes. This creates a more impressive image.
Moreover, exaggeration often reaches completely incomprehensible concepts, sometimes even. Any foreigner, if translated literally, will be clearly puzzled. We have long been accustomed to them, and perceive them as completely normal.
Here are examples of the most commonly used hyperboles in everyday life:
SCARE TO DEATH
A THOUSAND APOLOGIES
AT LEAST FLY
RIVERS OF BLOOD
MOUNTAINS OF CORPSES
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOREVER
GO OVER A THOUSAND KILOMETERS
STAYED ALL DAY
A LOT OF MONEY
A Feast FOR THE WHOLE WORLD
SEA OF TEARS
NOT SEEN FOR 100 YEARS
OCEAN OF PASSIONS
WEIGHS ONE HUNDRED POUNDS
Smother in your arms
SCARED TO DEATH
All listed expressions we constantly use V colloquial speech. And for the sake of experiment, just try to parse them verbatim and see how funny and sometimes absurd some of them are.
Well, for example, “at least fill yourself up” - this should be such an amount of liquid that it is enough for a whole pool into which you could plunge headlong. Although in fact, with this expression we just want to say that we have a lot of drinks - even more than we need.
Or does the phrase “a lot of money” actually mean just good things? financial condition, and not that a person has collected all his savings and let’s put them in one pile.
And we do not use the expression “to travel a thousand kilometers” when we are talking about a real distance, for example, from Moscow to Volgograd or Rostov-on-Don. But simply in the sense of “far”, although in fact in real numbers the distance there may be only a few kilometers.
And this way you can “debunk” absolutely any hyperbole. But you shouldn't do this. They do not have to mean the absolute truth; their task is to characterize a specific situation or thought in the most picturesque way, enhancing her emotional coloring.
Examples of hyperbole in fiction
In fact, such exaggerations are very old literary device. It was used, and this was almost a thousand years ago. With the help of hyperboles, the strength of the heroes and their opponents was repeatedly strengthened.
The heroic sleep lasted 12 DAYS (well, a person cannot sleep for almost two weeks)
Countless forces stood in the way of the hero - A WOLF WILL NOT OUTRUN THEM IN A DAY, A RAVE WILL NOT FLY FROM THEM IN A DAY (how many enemies should there be - a million?)
The hero waves his hand - A STREET IS AMONG ENEMIES, he waves another - AN ALLEY (that is, with one blow the hero kills several dozen at once)
Ilya Muromets took a club WEIGHTING ONE HUNDRED POUDS (here you must understand that one hundred pounds is one and a half tons)
The Nightingale the Robber whistles - THE FOREST IS STOPPING TO THE GROUND, AND PEOPLE ARE FALLING DEAD (well, this is something out of a fairy tale)
Exactly the same hyperboles occur in "The Tale of Igor's Campaign". For example:
“The Russians blocked with scarlet shields wide margins, seeking honor for yourself, and glory for the prince” or “An army such that you can splash the Volga with oars, and scoop up the Don with helmets.”
Among writers, Nikolai Vasilyevich has the most hyperbole Gogol. There are exaggerations in almost every one of his famous work. For example, he describes the Dnieper River:
A rare bird will fly to the middle of the Dnieper.
The Dnieper is like a road without end in length and without measure in width.
Or he uses exaggerations in his words, putting them in the mouths of the heroes:
I would destroy you all into flour! (Governor)
Thirty-five thousand couriers alone... The State Council itself is afraid of me. (Khlestakov)
And in " Dead souls" there are these words: "Countless human passions like the sands of the sea."
Almost every writer or poet uses hyperbole. With their help, they, for example, more colorfully describe the character of the heroes of works or show their author's attitude to them.
Moreover, writers often do not use already established expressions, but try to come up with something of their own.
Here's another examples of hyperbole in literature:
- And a mountain of bloody bodies prevented the cannonballs from flying (Lermontov)
- The sunset glowed with a hundred and forty suns (Mayakovsky)
- A million torments (Griboedov)
- A decent person is ready to run away to distant lands for you (Dostoevsky)
- And the pine tree reaches the stars (Mandelshtam)
- In the dream, the janitor became as heavy as a chest of drawers (Ilf and Petrov)
Examples of hyperbole in advertising
Of course, without such an interesting technique that allows enhance the real meaning of words, advertisers couldn’t get through either. A lot of slogans are based on this principle. After all, the task is to attract the client’s attention, while promising “mountains of gold” and in every possible way emphasizing the uniqueness of the product:
- Taste on the verge of possible (chewing gum "Stimorol")
- Control over the elements (Adidas sneakers)
- King of salads (Oliviez mayonnaise)
The principle of hyperbole is also often used in the creation of advertising videos. For example, a series of famous videos about Snickers bars with the slogan “You are not you when you are hungry.” Where various characters turn into completely different people and start doing all sorts of stupid things, and only a candy bar can bring them back to normal.
These commercials clearly exaggerate (greatly exaggerate) the feeling of hunger and the “miraculous” power of Snickers itself.
Well the simplest example The hyperbole that is used in advertising is expressions like “the best”, “the most stylish”, “the most comfortable” and so on, but about prices, on the contrary, they say “the lowest”.
Instead of a conclusion
Give greater expressiveness and emotional coloring Any expression can be expressed not only with the help of hyperbole. There is a technique in the Russian language that is its complete opposite. He does not exaggerate, but, on the contrary, reduces the significance.
Before you can blink an eye, the years have already flown by.
This technique is called "". This will be discussed in detail in our next article.

Hyperbole (from the Greek hyperbole - exaggeration). “All great works. - wrote A. Gorky, “all those works that are examples of highly artistic literature rest precisely on exaggeration, on a broad typification of phenomena.” Gorky confidently and unmistakably puts exaggeration and typification side by side, based on his own writing and reading experience, meaning by this the artist’s ability and ability to see the most essential in the observed phenomena, extract the main meaning from them, condense it with the power of imagination into an artistic image.
Exaggeration is the “core” of typing.
One of the most spectacular and effective techniques artistic exaggeration- hyperbole in literature. It allows you to “present unrepresentability”, “correlate the incomparable”, that is, to give this or that detail most acutely and sharply - in a portrait, in the internal appearance of a character, in a phenomenon of the objective world. Let us emphasize - objective. Because when talking about hyperbole, it should be borne in mind that no matter how incredible, no matter how fantastic it may be, it is always based on life material, life content.
The artistic persuasiveness and ambiguity of hyperbole are all the more significant the more clearly the reader imagines the specific essence of the image or situation.
Thus, one of the main characters of Gogol’s “The Inspector General,” Khlestakov, says about himself that he has “extraordinary lightness in his thoughts.” In a society based on universal reverence for rank, on all-encompassing hypocrisy, Khlestakov’s lies, with all its hyperbolic absurdity (“as I pass through the department, it’s just an earthquake, everything trembles and shakes like a leaf,” etc.), is accepted by provincial officials as pure the truth.
Another example. In Márquez’s novel “The Autumn of the Patriarch,” the story about the “thousand-year-old” patriarch is told from “we,” and this technique of using a collective point of view, polyphony, makes it possible to feel and imagine the atmosphere of rumors and omissions about the hero. Nothing is known for sure about the dictator from the very beginning - and until the end of the book. Each new interpretation of his actions reveals only one of the sides of his appearance, where exclusivity and difference from ordinary people come to the fore. And this gives the whole narrative style a certain hyperbolic quality.
To create a hyperbolic artistic image, they are used different kinds tropes: comparisons, likenings, metaphors, epithets, etc. Their function is to exaggerate the subject, to clearly reveal the contradiction between its content and form, to make the image more impressive and catchy. By the way, the same goal can be pursued by understatement, litotes, which can be considered as a type of hyperbole, like hyperbole in literature “with a minus sign.” Depending on the socio-aesthetic orientation of the work, the same event can be perceived as “giant” or “small”. In D. Swift’s novel “The Travels of Lemuel Gulliver,” hyperbole and litotes coexist: in the first part of the book contemporary to the writer England is shown as if through a reducing glass, in the second - through a magnifying glass. In the land of Lilliputians, oxen and sheep are so tiny that the hero loads hundreds of them into his boat. Matching these dimensions are everything else that Gulliver encounters in this country, right down to the social structure and political events. With a satirical understatement, Swift makes the reader understand that the claims of island, “Lilliputian”, in essence, England for world domination (for the role of “mistress of the seas”, for vast colonial possessions, etc.), which seemed great and grandiose to many Englishmen, are, if you think about it, insignificant and even funny.
Another impressive hyperbolic image is from the very beginning of the novel: the hero comes to his senses after a shipwreck and cannot lift his head from the ground - each of his hair is twisted onto a “Lilliputian” peg driven into the ground. Here, hyperbole in literature takes on a symbolic meaning, suggesting an individual in captivity among many insignificant passions and circumstances...
Exactly at satirical work hyperbole is most often appropriate and artistically justified. V. Astafiev in “The Tsar Fish” uses this technique to reveal the inner squalor of one of the “nature lovers,” the poacher Rokhotalo: “The fisherman Rokhotalo lay like a motionless block behind a hot fire. shaking the shore with snoring, as if from womb to throat, the anchor chain of a ship rocked by the waves rolled from throat to womb.” Here the author's assessment of the character with his insatiably aggressive attitude towards nature, a character personifying soulless dullness, emerges. However, hyperbole in literature, even “mocking”, may not be clearly satirical. The range of use of this prima is quite wide, covering humor, irony, and comedy.
The history of hyperbole goes back to the distant past - to folklore, to folk tales, generous with satirical images and comic situations. However, at about the same time, a completely different type of hyperbole arose - very far from laughter. In epics, legends, and heroic tales we find one that can be called idealizing. Thus, in the Russian epic it is depicted historical experience people, their heroic struggle against invaders and oppressors. In images epic heroes the people expressed their understanding of duty and honor, courage and patriotism, kindness and selflessness. The heroes of epics - heroes - are endowed with ideal human qualities, as a rule, exaggerated, hyperbolic. The depiction of the epic hero primarily emphasizes his supernatural physical strength: “If there were a ring in the earth, / And there was a ring in the sky, / He would grab these rings in one hand, / He would pull the sky to the earth,” the epic says about Ilya Muromtse. In a similar way, his weapons and his actions are exaggerated. On the battlefield, he wields an iron club-shalyga “weighing exactly one hundred bullets”, a bow and arrows “in a scythe of fathoms”, or even simply grabs the legs of an enemy who turns up and destroys the enemy’s “great strength” with it: swings to the right - appears in the enemy’s crowd “street”, to the left - “alley”. The horse of Ilya Muromets can cover many miles in one gallop, for it flies “above a standing forest, just below a walking cloud”...
The images of opponents are also hyperbolized - but already satirically epic heroes. For example, if Ilya Muromets is outwardly no different from those around him, then his “adversary” Idolishche is “two fathoms” tall, and his shoulders are “oblique fathoms”, and he has eyes like “beer bowls”, and a nose like “elbow” “... Thanks to this contrasting external comparison, the hero’s victory looks especially impressive, deserving of popular glorification.
To answer the question, please give examples of hyperbole... asked by the author Light the best answer is The Serpent Gorynych hit Ivan Tsarevich and drove him knee-deep into the damp earth...
Answer from Yita Dragileva[guru]
Hyperbole (Greek hyperbole - excess, exaggeration; from hyper - through, over and bole - throw, throwing) is a stylistic figure of obvious and deliberate exaggeration, in order to enhance expressiveness and emphasize the said thought, for example “I said this a thousand times” or “ We have enough food for six months.”
Language, as a phenomenon, often uses the same words to mean various concepts. The term “hyperbole” was introduced into scientific use by the ancient Greek mathematician Apollonius of Perga. But if in mathematics the word “hyperbole” is used in its original Greek meaning, then the medieval Latin version of this word - hyperbole - from the 13th century began to be used to denote a stylistic and rhetorical device of excessive exaggeration of any properties of the depicted object, phenomenon, etc., in order to enhance the impression.
In stylistics, hyperbole is used to enhance the expressiveness of speech. This word has an antonym - litota (see), that is, a deliberate understatement (a boy the size of a finger, a man the size of a fingernail, a thumbnail). And there is a synonym - exaggeration.
Hyperbole is a figurative expression containing an exorbitant exaggeration of the size, strength, or significance of any object or phenomenon. For example: “At one hundred and forty suns the sunset burned” (Mayakovsky). Hyperbole is used to enhance the emotional impact on the reader, as well as to more clearly highlight certain aspects of the depicted phenomenon. For example: “And the mountain of bloody bodies prevented the cannonballs from flying” (M. Yu. Lermontov). Or from N.V. Gogol: “Hare pants, the width of the Black Sea”; “A mouth the size of the arch of the General Staff building.” Hyperbole plays the greatest role in satire. Hyperbole can be idealizing and destructive.
Hyperbole has manifested itself in human thinking and consciousness since the primitive system. Thinking primitive people, undoubtedly, was very different in its characteristics from the thinking of civilized people.
An important feature of primitive communal consciousness was also that it did not yet have a distinction between the really existing and the fantastic. Primitive hunters not only highly valued in the phenomena of each genus its most valuable and powerful representatives - its ancestors and rulers, and not only animated them in their imagination; at the same time, they naively and unconsciously exaggerated their physical size, their strength, intelligence, cunning, dexterity, etc. They thought, but on the principle of hyperbole, turning into fantasy. This was an inevitable consequence of the dependence of primitive people on the forces of nature, their lack of understanding of the laws of its life, their inability to master these laws, and the ensuing feelings of fear, dependence, defenselessness, or surprise, admiration, and gratitude.
Taylor gives several examples of this statement. Thus, he quotes a statement from one missionary about the views North American Indians: “They say... that all animals of every species have an older brother, who serves as the beginning and root of all other individuals; this elder brother is amazingly strong and great. The big brother of the beavers, they told me, could be as big as our hut.” Or: the “king” of snakes, in the imagination of the blacks of South-West Africa, “was a huge monster, surpassing them all in size and considered, as it were, their ancestor.” Taylor also refers to primitive beliefs, reflected in ancient Russian fairy tales, according to which “on the island of Buyan” there lives a snake, the oldest of all snakes, the prophetic raven - the elder brother of all ravens. Bird, the largest and oldest of all birds, with an iron beak and copper claws, and the Queen Bee, the oldest of bees."

Hyperbole (literature)
Hyperbola(_gr. ὑπερβολή, “transition, exaggeration”) - a stylistic figure of obvious and deliberate exaggeration, in order to enhance expressiveness and emphasize the said thought, for example, “I have said this a thousand times” or “we have enough food for six months.”
Hyperbole is often combined with other stylistic devices, giving them an appropriate coloring: hyperbolic comparisons, metaphors, etc. (“the waves rose like mountains”). The character or situation portrayed may also be hyperbolic. Hyperbole is also characteristic of the rhetorical and oratorical style, as a means of pathetic elation, as well as the romantic style, where pathos comes into contact with irony. Among Russian authors, Gogol is especially prone to hyperbole, and among poets, Mayakovsky.
Examples
Phraseologisms and winged words
* "sea of tears"
* “quick as lightning”, “lightning fast”
* "numerous as the sand on the seashore"
* “We haven’t seen each other for a hundred years!”
* “The (drunk) sea is knee-deep [and the puddle is head-deep]”
* “Whoever remembers the old - look out! And whoever forgets, both!”
Ancient examples
Give me a fulcrum and I will move the Earth.::::Archimedes (ancient Greek: Dos moipu sto, kai tan gan kinas.)
Hyperbolic metaphors in the Gospel
* “Why do you look at the straw in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye?” (Gospel of Matthew 7:1-3). In this figurative picture, a critical person proposes to take the straw out of his neighbor’s “eye.” The critic wants to say that his neighbor does not see clearly and therefore is not able to judge sensibly, while the critic himself is prevented from judging sensibly by a whole log.
* On another occasion, Jesus condemned the Pharisees for being “blind guides, straining out gnats and swallowing up camels” (Matthew 23:24). Additionally, Jesus knew that the Pharisees strained their wine through a cloth. These rule-breakers did this to avoid accidentally swallowing a mosquito and thereby becoming ceremoniously unclean. At the same time, they figuratively swallowed a camel, which was also considered unclean (Leviticus 11:4, 21-24).
* "Faith the size of a [tiny] mustard seed" that could move mountain, - way emphasize that even a little faith can do a lot (Matthew 17:20).
* The camel is trying to pass through the eye of the needle - also a hyperbole of Jesus Christ, which clearly shows how difficult it is for a rich man, leading a materialistic lifestyle, to try to serve God. (Gospel of Matthew 19:24).
