An idiom is a natural manner of speaking to a native speaker of a language

These are some idioms hoping they'll be useful for everybody

Having something that is certain is much better than taking a risk for more, because chances are you might lose everything.

All Greek to me:
Meaningless and incomprehensible like someone who cannot read, speak, or understand any of the Greek language would be.

Dear Drimz

thanks a lot for your precious information about idioms and especially the exact definition of Idioms, it was a real help because i forgot to do it!!! so thank you very much.
But i prefer giving idioms step by step and by series or categories ( body idioms, animal idioms,
etc...) it will be easier to learn that..isn't it ?
Sincerly yours.

Series 1: Body idioms


He has got his head in the clouds -
If someone is not fully aware of a situation, .

It’s like banging your head against a brick wall
If we try to do something that seems impossible
or makes us frustrated,

He’s got an old head on young shoulders.
if someone seems older than they are or if they talk and think like an older person
