idioma

a group of words or a phrase that has a meaning different from the literal interpretation of its individual words, often specific to a particular language or culture

example
Esempio
Click on words
The idiom 'kick the bucket' means to die, and its meaning is quite different from the literal interpretation of kicking a bucket.
When someone says 'it's raining cats and dogs,' they're using an idiom to describe very heavy rain, not an actual downpour of animals.
What is an "idiom"?

An idiom is a group of words whose meaning cannot be understood by looking at the individual words alone. Idioms often convey a figurative meaning that is culturally specific and may not translate directly into other languages. For example, the idiom "kick the bucket" means "to die", and its literal interpretation does not reflect this meaning. Idioms enrich language by adding color and expressiveness, allowing speakers to convey complex ideas or emotions in a clear way. Understanding idioms is important for effective communication, as they are commonly used in both spoken and written language.
