Idiom or expression is a combination of words, which is a fragment of a sentence which has
its own meaning. or group of words that express the meaning figuratively.
Example idiom:
golden child = child most beloved
Hats off = salute or respect
Nature reserves = a natural protection
Blood meat = Child
Nose = visible / present
Blackguard = female fans, liar
Masher = male love affair
Prig = amnesia
Usurer = moneylenders
Cats garong = ferocious nature, lineament less fun
Long hands = thief
Very red = angry
Stubborn = strong character
Love blind = really love
Eating salt = lots of experience
Put your hands = surrender
Mild head = easy to understand and grasp
Idiom can be divided into two types, namely:
1. The full idiom, ie idioms or phrases throughout the constituent elements can not be
returned to the meaning of denotation / true.
Example:
Roll the mat means a bankrupt.
b Butt yellow means stingy / miserly.
Said rolls and said the mat has lost its meaning denotation. Likewise, the word and the word
yellow rump.
2. Idiom in part, that idiom or expression that most of its constituent elements can still be
restored to the meaning of denotation.
Example:
a rumor means news or news that is not necessarily true.
b black list means a list of names of people involved in the crime.
In this case, said the news and the list can still be restored on the meaning of denotation.
Idiom is an expression of the language in the form of a compound word (phrase) whose
meaning has been fused and can not be interpreted by the elements that shape meanings.
