What does simile mean in Italian?

Answer 1

"Similar" as an adjective and "Fellow creature" or "One's own kind" as a noun may be English equivalents of "simile."

Specifically, the word "simile" is the masculine/feminine singular form of an Italian adjective. Spelled the same way, it is a masculine singular noun whose singular definite article is "il" ("the"), and whose singular indefinite article is "un, uno" ("a, one").

But regardless of the meaning and use, the pronunciation remains the same: "SEE-mee-leh."
