Idioms

/ˈɪd.i.əmz/noun
ELI5 mode

Idioms are fixed phrases or expressions in a language that convey a figurative meaning beyond their literal words, like 'kick the bucket' meaning to die rather than literally interacting with a pail. They add flavor and cultural nuance to communication, often evolving with society and posing challenges for language learners in global contexts.
