In real word you use them to find a translation or a meaning of a keyword. In Python it works similarly - you "translate" its key (often being a short word, char or number) into value - a string, a number, a list, a dict or even an object. It is way easier to operate on keys when addressing big collections of data. It makes it more accessible.

I used it a second time on a quick contact list I made. When you put in the key (name) it returned the value (phone number
