Easy Explanation

Subtitles are words on the screen. They show what people are saying. They help you understand a film or show, especially in a different language.

💡

Memory TipRemember 'sub' means 'under', so subtitles are text under the picture.

Contextual Examples

Many people watch foreign films with a subtitle (text translation) so they can understand the dialogue.

The movie had a subtitle (on-screen text) option for the hearing impaired, which was very helpful.

I sometimes turn on the subtitle (written dialogue) even for English movies to catch every word.
