English Idioms

An idiom is a word, phrase, or expression with a figurative meaning that is not easily deduced from its literal definition. An idiom can be considered an insider language within a culture, where the meaning of the idiom is understood by those within the culture, but often misunderstood or misinterpreted by those outside of it. The English language is filled with idioms, many of which are rooted in nautical or maritime culture.

English idioms have been around for centuries and have allowed us to express our thoughts and emotions in a way that would not be possible with simple literal language.

Idioms are an important part of learning English. They are the phrases or a group of words which make a meaning which may not be understood by those individual words which made that phrase. They may have a figurative or literal meaning and they would be so natural for English speakers, while they don’t seem so for English learners.
