Do you enjoy using idiomatic expressions in your daily communications?

Barimah Osei 12 respuestas
Idiomatic expressions are a type of informal language that have a meaning different from the meaning of the words in the expression. Here's an example of an idiomatic expression: Hold your tongue. ... So, while their tongue is ready to do some talking, they "hold" it and don't say anything.

Of course!!! That kind of expressions and their meaning give that extra taste to every language and makes each one of them unique. At the beginning, these expressions seem confusing and difficult to understand. But after a while, they come out from your mouth naturally and help you to express yourself in a more casual way. We had lots of idiomatics expressions in Spanish, too.

I find idiomatic expressions useful to express an idea to the point. That`s why they are common in every day speech.

Hi, yes, I think is a big part of addapting a new language. In my opinion, when someone uses idioms it shows you are really confortable with the language you are speaking.

I avoid them mostly, and when I use them I explain them to the learner. First of all, idiomatic expressions often seem like "sloppy language"; secondly, they are almost always regional and are not readily understood by all speakers of English; and thirdly, they are often age-dependent - that is, sometimes younger speakers will use certain expressions, while older speakers will use others, and they are often not mutually intelligible. So because I wish to be understood, I avoid them whenever possible.

Not really, in practical situations you will find yourself surrounded by people from everywhere in the world, so neutral English and a good pronunciation are key to understand and be understood. Cheers.
