What does take literally mean?

Updated: 9/20/2023

It means to understand something based on the dictionary meaning. So if someone said, "My lunch box weighs a ton!", they do not really mean it weighs 2000 pounds. They simply mean it is hefty. But if someone took them literally, they would think the lunch box really did wiegh a ton.
