An idiom is a phrase or expression whose meaning is not deducible from the literal words used. It often conveys a cultural or figurative meaning, making it unique to a particular language or community. “Idioms” is a list of idioms used in various languages around the world. Some idioms in one language have the same meaning in another language. While others are  similar but not the same.  It is interesting to learn idioms from other languages and cultures. “Idioms” here are categorized in alphabetical order of languages. We welcome volunteers to contribute “Idioms” in your native languages.  “Idioms” is in the format: “language” + “Original idioms” + “International Phonetic text” (IPT)” +definition+ “example”,etc..We update “Idioms” from our contributors.
