I don't think shade means much different from any other English-speaking place!
Firstly, shade as in shadow (as an earlier respondant said, if you are protected from the sun by something, you are in its shade). This can be used both as a noun or as a verb (To be shaded from the sun's rays).
Secondly, shade as in shade of a colour (e.g. a paler shade of white ^^)
Thirdly, the good old shade as in ghost - probably not applicable as I can't remember the last time I heard this one!

"Shade" means the same wherever you are. It is simply an area which is not subject to the direct rays of the sun.
If an object, be it plant, animal, human or any other thing, is under (or in) the "shade" of another object, they are said to be "in the shade". Think of the word "shadow" and you've got an idea of where the word originated!

Shade means in the shadow of the sun. So if you are outside under a trees shadow, you whould be in the shade
