What does Sway literally mean? I listen to the song Sway by Bic Runga. I understand the whole song. But, I want to know the exact meaning of the word sway and when to use it in what situation. Thank you

Also “sway” can be used in English slang, especially by rappers. Instead of saying “how come” you’d say “how sway”

Sway also means to influence someone's decision. "When the father was deciding whether to let the children watch TV, the children tried to sway his opinion by saying that they learn a lot from TV."

Hello! Sway as a verb means to move slowly or rhythmically from side to side or backwards and forwards. Sway as a noun describes the actual side to side or backwards and forwards movement. So this is how you could you "sway": It is mesmerising to watch the dancers "sway" to the rhythm of the music. I watched the boxer "sway" slowly before he collapsed, after losing consciousness. I hope that helps!

Sway means to swing slowly and rhythmically back and forth. An example is when women walk in a sexy manner, their hips sway. In the song, he asks the woman to "sway his way", which means to come to him in a sexy manner.
