3 words I got confused. Let's screw them :D.
What does "mean" mean? In this context, the verb mean is used to talk about meaning - the definition of words or something else. Sometimes we can hear: what do you mean? This question is encountered when somebody doesn't clearly understand what their partner has talked.
When mean is a noun, it means an average, or something between two extreme things. For example: I need to find a mean between frankness and rudeness. Or the mean of 3 and 5 is 4.
When mean is an adjective, it describe a person who is not willing to share with others (not generous or unkind). For example: She is the meanest girl I've ever known.[Country girls - The little house on the prairie).
How about means? The single form and plural form are the same - means. The most popular meaning is equipment to achieves something. For examples: He has used me as a means to get promoted. Damn it! Or means of transport: airplanes, cars, trains, ...
Finally, when meaning is a noun, it talks about the definition of something. For example: The meaning of words highly depends on contexts.
