Admiral Ackbar, when the shields failed...

I love this scene. You can tell that, although the admiral cdoesn't fully understand,  in his last moments he's just relishing the experience of Picard's storytelling (perfect example of allegory) and you can feel their connection. This just felt very human. Words have such strong power, especially when communicating/connecting with someone else.

They both wanted to communicate so badly that it took time and patience. Once they did, they set out to do what they needed. I found myself smiling once they both realized they understood each other. It was a beautiful moment in the episode.

Without imagination, they'd never have been able to communicate. Opening your mind allows a new way of communication to come your way which is depicted in this episode through the hand gestures and behaviors.

Communication is accomplished in this episode by the act of patience, just as Picard stated. It takes him a while before he understands what the other is saying but he takes his time with it. He opens his mind to their language and relates it to something he understands aka metaphors. Not only that, The Federation looked at the Tamarians hand motions and repeated words to find meaning in their conversations. The Federation may not fully be able to communication but they've started to grasp the concept.

"Allegory might have been a better term for explaining Tamarian. While metaphor represents one subject as similar to another object, allegory replaces one with another entirely. Allegory’s veiled language is powerful, because allegories effectively freeze time, making a historical or fictional scenario immortal." I agree that Allegory might be a better fit for their language. They uses stories and symbols as references for what they want to do, which fits better than a metaphor. Science fiction allows this sort of space.
