An idiom is an expression, word, or phrase that has a figurative meaning or the associative or connotative meaning.
Example: A drop in the ocean
Meaning: A very small part of something.
Example: A piece of cake
Meaning: Easy, simple to do, no difficulties.
An idiom is a figure of speech that does not have the obvious presented meaning. Idioms differ from culture and country, as the phrase uses commonplace objects, people, or animals. Examples and meanings of idioms in American culture include:
Idioms are expressions (and sometimes simgle words) that evolve within a language that don't make logical sense and are hard to translate from one language to another. Example, "Sacre Bleu!" Is a French expression, meaning literally "Holy Blue" in English. The closest English translation might be , "Holy Smoke!", also an idiomatic phrase. Example, "Take it easy." How would one translate this into another language and have it make sense?...Take WHAT easy?
Idioms come from all different sources - from The Bible, horse racing, ancient fables to modern slang. Even famous autheors such as Aesop, Chaucer, and Shakespeare made them. The etymology of the word is from the Latin word, idioma.
Idioms are used for another way of saying things, in a more, creative way.
As an example, if you were to say "That test was easy." You could have said it "That test was a piece of cake."
