An idiom is a specific type of figurative language that expresses a particular meaning unique to that phrase, often not directly connected to the words used. Other types of figurative language, such as metaphors or similes, compare things directly using words or phrases that aren't meant to be taken literally.

A figure of speech that cannot be taken literally is a metaphor. It involves comparing two unlike things directly to highlight a particular quality or aspect, without using "like" or "as," which would create a simile. For example, saying "time is a thief" suggests that time stealthily takes away moments from our lives, rather than implying that time is literally a person who steals. Metaphors enrich language by conveying deeper meanings and emotions.
