What are emotive markers?

Emotive markers are words or phrases that help us feel what someone is saying, like a fun little nudge to our feelings.

Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy, and your friend says, "Look at this!" That’s just a normal sentence. But if they say, "Wow! Look at this!", the 'wow!' adds excitement, like a extra sticker on your toy. That's an emotive marker!

Emotive markers are like smiley faces or frowny faces in writing. They help show how someone is feeling without using pictures.

For example:

• "I’m sad.", simple.
• "I’m really, really sad.", the 'really, really' makes the sadness feel bigger, like a big puddle instead of a little drop.

They can also make things sound more happy, angry, or excited, just like how your voice changes when you're surprised or giggling!
