    " Idioms .. "



    ! Hey folks
    :)

    This is a simple continuation of this thread https://v.3bir.net/261233/

    .Actually , i have a lot of admiration for English idioms because of their implicit meanings
    It blows my mind when sometimes i tend to guess the meaning of certain idioms and then fail , because i need to put them in their contexts

    ?Ah ! you wanna know what a mind- blowing thing is
    Well , you can say " This thing blows my mind " to indicate that it's unbelievably terrific that you can't even describe it in words

    ?Will you think of other idioms with me , or am i just gonna sing alone on this theater
    C'mon guys , i'm gonna buy what you sell

      As i expected ! Nobody is gonna sing with me here :)
      S'OKAY , i can enjoy my voice when it gets to be the only thing that makes " noise " in silent cemeteries , and i'm talking metaphorically here , so never mind

      : The second idiom ( and i think i never mentioned it before ) is this

      When you say " I'm into something / someone " , you mean that " I like something / someone " . and let's pick up one example to make it clear

      " I'm not actually into romantic movies . But this movie is an exception "


      Hope you got it

      :)

          We , occasionally , hear or read this common idiom
          " Don't get me wrong "

          . I assume that you can understand what this idiom means when it's put into context
          For instance , when i say " Don't get me wrong ; John is a talented pianist . But he is not a creative one


          I certainly mean by this idiom
          " Don't misunderstand me "

              When you say " Somebody has got / is getting cold feet about something " , it means they are frightened to do something they had already planned to do

              : Example

              For no reason , I'm getting cold feet about having another baby

                      " Laugh and a half "

                      It's an idiom that i just came across . Usually used to refer to something extremely funny

                      : Example


                      The reason you two broke up is a real laugh and a half

                          it is so simple , so easy
                          ( زي شربة المويه )

                          " put yourself in my shoes " =
                          ( حط نفسك مكاني )

                                      hummm ... i'm not sure , but i think they say " I'm old school " . You know , English people always tend to minimize the number of words in their sentences :d
