    Thank you for your explanation. Just a question, as a non-native English speaker: does “to lit up every room” have some special/hidden meaning? Or it has to be taken literally? Dumb question, I know…

      In that phrase, “lighting up the room” means the person brings joy and laughter to everyone. Like, by being vivacious, charismatic, energetic, etc.

          You’re welcome! Also, the ocean of English metaphors and colloquial phrases is literally so deep and wide that you’ll definitely still be learning new ones in forty years. Have fun with it.
