| What is an Idiom? |
 An idiom is a phrase that is difficult to understand even if you are familiar with all of the words in the phrase.
Suppose someone is learning English and I tell them that a friend kicked the bucket and is now pushing up daisies. They might logically think that my friend propelled a bucket with a lower appendage and is now busy elevating small white and yellow flowers-- unless they have the previous cultural knowledge to understand the real meaning of these phrases.
If you're learning Spanish, be aware that Spanish has many idioms that won't trip you up if you read up on them here. |
