A sentence with conceit in it?

Answer 1

When you have something for example new, and you want that everybody notice it.

ADDENDUM: A conceit is also a "thought" -- specifically, an elaborate or strained metaphor. Elizabethan poetry swarms with conceits. Characteristic examples are in Shakespeare's Sonnet, "Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day?"

This is a sonnet

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer's lease hath all too short a date.

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;

Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
