Language drawing - homonym - for our not-Dutch Yorkies
Do you know this english homonym? (do not use translate-option)
Linguistic drawings, I've shared a lot of them lately. They were in Dutch, but of course you can also come up with nice homonyms from the English language. Do you know this one?
A homonym is a word that has two (or more) meanings. You can think of many of them, and some of them are also fun to depict.
The illustrations I'm sharing lately are linguistic illustrations, they depict a homonym, or a saying, or a compound word.
How many do you know?
This is my first language illustration in English, many of you can participate now! Do you know what English homonym I've portrayed here? Put your answer in the comments. Have fun puzzling!

Dandelion is called our dandelion in English. Comes from the French: Dents, the Lions, Lion Teeth. Because the petals of the Dandelion look like teeth. A dandelion is also the appearance of the sun and its testicle is the moon.
It seems to me that this is very clear because in your language you find a different meaning than the word you already know
I don't know how to appreciate your post in a better way since everything comes out to me in Spanish I wish I could understand more languages to get the thanks hehe
Not only do they exist in your language, they also exist in the Spanish language: the more words we learn, the more coincidences we find between them.
It's funny that Dandelions is the first drawing since I have that song stuck I can't stop listening to it and now I see it on Yoors thank you very much for that. It will be some kind of sign?
It was translated automatically, I think it's great that you make these drawings: dandelions can be represented in two ways, because words don't have a single meaning and that makes them wonderful.
Nice one, I didn't see him but just saw your explanation in the comments, thinking about another language is also difficult, I personally think.
English and Dutch mixed together, that doesn't make it easier. Dandelion, is the English for the Taraxacum officinale (or a dandelion/pisflower) and “dandy the lion” is well liked.
I'm reading Dutch and English interchangeably here. (Maybe it automatically translates into Dutch, I don't know.)
Nice drawings ! Homonyms are part of the subject matter in my classroom. Maybe I'll start with one of your drawings next year.

Well thought out, these are really fun puzzles (if you can call them that) but unfortunately I'm not very good at them.
