When something is ‘strange’, it means it’s not what you usually see or expect. Think of it like a purple elephant. Elephants are usually gray, so a purple one would be quite surprising and different! That’s what makes it strange.
Imagine your favorite ice cream suddenly tastes like broccoli. Ice cream is supposed to be sweet, right? When it tastes like a vegetable, it’s unusual and unexpected, so we call it strange.
Or picture a dog that meows like a cat. Dogs usually bark, so if a dog meows, it’s doing something different from what we know. This makes it strange because it’s not what we are used to.
Strange is like a puzzle piece that doesn’t seem to fit with the others. It catches your attention and makes you wonder why it doesn’t match. Sometimes, strange things can be fun and exciting because they are new and different, but they can also be confusing because they don’t follow the usual patterns we know.
