Definition

When you say something out loud, you are speaking those words yourself. For example, 'I say hello' or 'He says goodbye'. You might use this verb when giving commands ('Sit down!'), stating facts ('The answer is four'), asking questions ('How do you say that?'), or expressing opinions ('She says the movie was excellent'). It's a fundamental way to communicate directly.
