  What is an Idiom?
  
  
  Idioms are a type of figurative language, which means they are not always meant to be taken literally. Idioms express a particular sentiment, but they do not literally mean what the individual words themselves mean.
  
  An idiom is a saying that is specific to a language. For example, an idiom in English does not translate to an idiom in Spanish.
