A group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words
In other words, an idiom is a phrase that cannot be understood by translating it word for word. The only way to figure it out is by asking a native speaker what he means when he says phrases like these.
Luckily for you, I am that native speaker willing to share 5 Spanish idioms with colors today, so let’s get started!
