Hahn-Banach theorem

Anyone can explain me in word what is the importance of this theorem and what it means in plain english?
 

Re: Hahn-Banach theorem

A linear functional defined on a subspace of a vector space V and which is dominated by a sublinear function defined on V has a linear extension which is also dominated by the sublinear function.
