Why English Idioms Are Useful

You’re conversing with your local English-talking companion about your late separation and how discouraged you are when all of a sudden he moves in the direction of you and says “Don’t stress over it man, young ladies like that are a dime twelve!” You then gaze at your companion in disarray. You just don’t comprehend why your great companion is looking at the young lady that was at one time the adoration for your life to $1.20.

Really “dime a dozen” doesn’t mean anything even remotely near what the individual words in the expression suggests. For local speakers of English, a dime twelve essentially implies that something is basic and simple to get. Since we can’t make sense of the importance by inspecting the expression alone, “dime twelve” is the thing that we call a saying. As a non-local speaker of English, the most ideal approach to comprehend figures of speech is to remember their implications from the point of view of a local speaker. We’ve recorded the 10 most basic colloquialisms in English and their real implications.
