What is idiom?

An idiom is a phrase that, when taken as a whole, has a meaning you wouldn’t be able to deduce from the meanings of the individual words. It’s essentially the verbal equivalent of using the wrong math formula but still getting the correct answer.

The phrase “kill two birds with one stone” is an example of an idiom. Fluent and native English speakers understand that this doesn’t refer to harming birds or using stones, but that someone is completing two tasks at once.

A group of words built by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words (e.g. over the moon, see the light).

What are metaphors?

A figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.

Common metaphor examples:

Life is a highway.

Her eyes were diamonds.

He is a shining star.

The snow is a white blanket.

She is an early bird.

CONCLUSION

Idioms and phrases enrich languagesʼ terminology and vocabulary. Especially, people use these expressions of words orally, not in written way. We cannot utilize these vocabularies in any way, as stated by situation we can use these metaphors in languages reciprocally. In “Pride and Prejudice”, Jane Austen used such idioms with great expertness, that is, to give readers a more complete and deeper understanding of the important situation. And from this we can see how skilled writer and true creator Jane Austen is. 1https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://uz.m.wiktionary.o rg/wiki/ahmoq&ved=2ahUKEwixx4nozpT9AhVSpYsKHWrJDJkQFnoECAkQAQ& usg=AOvVaw2lHlEgQ7vZCcS6ciWL04nl Abdulla Kadiriy from “Mehrobdan chayon” 2https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://saviya.uz/ijod/dramaturgiya/tan ho-qayiq-yoxud-devonaningorzusi/&ved=2ahUKEwjj7fmuzZT9AhWS6CoKHb9sAMsQFnoECA0QAQ&usg=AOvVaw3u5Fu2 ZJHXeDFHl81K_yE7Erkin Aʼzam from “Tanho qayiq”.
