The Idioms

Idiom: a manner of speaking that is natural to native speakers of a language

Every language has its own collection of wise sayings. They offer advice about how to live and also transmit some underlying ideas, principles and values of a given culture / society. These sayings are called "idioms" - or proverbs if they are longer. These combinations of words have (rarely complete sentences) a "figurative" meaning - they basically work with "pictures"

  1. We usually use idioms by nature, and it is so easy for us to explain some situations with them, sometimes even funny.The game is very interesting!!!

  2. I enjoyed playing the game a lot! My fav phrase from those is "Take five" because we all like to predict the time it will take us to complete a task.
