Do you know other idioms? which?

Answer 1

Hi Chena, I think you what you really means by "idiom" is idioma (Portuguese or Spanish way of saying "language or dialect".

If you really want to say that, then I tell you that I speak Portuguese (my first language), English, Spanish and a little of French.

I can read in all of these languages with great facility.

Abraços (hugs),

Answer 2

I could be wrong, but I get the feeling that you are using the word "idiom" in the sense of the Spanish word "idioma" - language. If so, your question would be easier to understand - and answer - if you asked: "Do you know any other languages?"

Answer 4

Jean is slightly wrong; an idiom is an expression whose meaning is not predictable from the usual meanings of its constituent elements, as kick the bucket or hang one's head, or from the general grammatical rules of a language, as the table round for the round table, and that is not a constituent of a larger expression of like characteristics.

My mum always said to me when I went swimming
"If you drown I'll kill you" I was always extra careful, I never realised what she meant I just used to be scared of getting a beating!
She also said
