You can say something about;

- the size/colour (sun: it is very big/hot/yellow)

- what it is used for/who uses it (shopping bag: you use it to put your groceries in)

- where you can find it (beamer: we use it in the classroom to watch videos)

- compare it to something else (disgust: the feeling when you have to eat something you really don't like)
