Do you mean how is the verb "to mean" used or how is the noun "means" used?

 

[**C@RL$$**]

i want to know the meaning the verb and the noun as well

 

[Anglika]

the verb:

To mean = 1: to express or represent something such as an idea, thought, or fact; 2: to intend; 3: to have an important emotional effect on someone

1 >> What does this sentence mean?

2 >> I mean to go to London tomorrow.

3 >> That ring means a lot to her because her husband gave it to her when they became engaged.

It can be used to emphasise what you are saying. For instance, to a small child that is being noisy:

"Stop that this instant or you will go to bed. I mean what I say!"

Noun:

Means = 1: a method or way of doing something; 2: money, for example from an income, that allows you to buy things

1 >> By what means did you find your way here today?
2 >> He has the means to buy all the houses in this street if he wanted.

Adjective:

Mean = unkind, ungenerous.

Don't be so mean! You are always teasing me.
He is so mean that he never pays for a thing

[mathematical use] a mean number is an average number

Sorry - my mistake. I did not understand your original question. It helps if you make clear what phrase it is that you want to know about - use bolding, or underlining, or "" to make it clear

Marcio seems to have answered the question.
