Sinestesia is a literary device where different sensory experiences are combined or described using terms from another sense. It creates vivid imagery by blending senses together.
Imagine tasting colors or hearing smells. Sinestesia is like experiencing one sense through another sense. It's as if your brain gets mixed up and combines different sensations to create something unique.
