learn idioms

first of all: What is an idiom

It is a speech form or an expression of a given language that is peculiar to itself grammatically or cannot be understood from the individual meanings of its elements

هي نوع من التعابير الخاصة بلغة معينة و التي يصعب تفسيرها من خلال تفسير معنى كل كلمة في الجملة بشكل فردي.
أي انك لو حاولت أن تترجم كل كلمة موجودة في التعبير على حدى للوصول إلى معنى التعبير فلن تستطيع ذلك لأن المعنى سيكون بعيد تماما عما هو مقصود.
و لمزيد من التوضيح أنظر إلى الشرح.
