It means that when you put to magnets together they won't touch. They almost push away from each other. The opposite if when you put to magnets together and they stick to each other, this is called magnets being 'attracted to each other'.

Why is a nail attracted to a magnet?

1) Magnets can attract or repel each other, depending on their orientation.2) Your nail is normally non-magnetic, but when a magnet comes near it, the magnet will induce magnetism within the nail. This will turn the nail into a magnet. Temporarily, and not into a particularly strong magnet, but still.1) Magnets can attract or repel each other, depending on their orientation.2) Your nail is normally non-magnetic, but when a magnet comes near it, the magnet will induce magnetism within the nail.
