Then there's an impression, like one is trying to give a hint of something, as in Impressionist art...that something might herald the arrival or departure of something, like a season for instance...
...or of something one is making....
There is impression as in creating a strong effect on the intellect, emotions or conscience, as in "This book made a real impression on my life", or, "That song created quite an impression on my heart".
Impression can mean a vague remembrance, notion or belief of an event or occurrence, as in, "When I was little, I get the impression that I liked to play in the sprinkler a lot, often in the buff".( The memory becomes a little less vague when there are snapshots to prove it!)
Then there is "making a good impression". I was recently accused of only being interested in making a lot of money (HA!) and impressing my friends. To that I say, true friends don't need impressing. If you have to impress them, they aren't really your friends. Aren't you impressed? : 0)

Many English subtleties for me! But I think I understand a number :) Sorry if my English is limited! Have a nice day :)
Isn't it great that the word can have so many meanings. Have a great week!
I still like to run naked through the sprinkler, but when I do, my uptight neighors call the police :-)
Yes you have made a good impression!
