What is meta-commentary?

Meta-commentary is when you talk about something while you're doing it, like explaining a game during the game.

Imagine you and your friend are playing tag in the park. You’re running, laughing, and having fun. But then, out of nowhere, you say: "Oh wow, I really love how we both run fast!" or "This is the best game of tag ever!" That’s meta-commentary, you're still playing the game, but you're also talking about it.

Think of it like reading a book where the author talks about writing the book. It's kind of like having a story inside a story. You’re not just living the adventure, you're also commenting on it, like saying: "This is so cool!" or "I can’t believe this happened!"

Meta-commentary is like when you’re talking about how you talk. It's fun because you get to enjoy the action and reflect on it at the same time, just like you and your friend both playing and commenting on the game together!
