Idioms

What is an idiom? (orange)

An idiom may be defined as a word or group of words whose meaning cannot be understood from a literal interpretation of each word.

For example:     This is a piece of cake.  =  This is easy.

Un idiome ne peut se traduire littéralement. Quelques uns sont à connaître absolument. Certains sont équivalents à des idiomes français. D'autres non
