Question

How would you describe the opposite of a hyperbole

Answer 1

I would describe the opposite of a hyperbole as an understatement because a hyperbole is exaggerated and an understatement is something that isn't as important or as large. Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement, something that sounds bigger than it actually is.

The opposite of that would be making something sound smaller, not as bad or not as good, etc, as it actually is, like an understatement.
