Idiyoma sa Buwan ng Wika

BAGO man lamang magtapos ang pagdiriwang ng Buwan­ ng Wika, dagdagan natin ang inyong kaalaman sa mga idiyoma sa ating sariling wika at iba pang mga salitang iba ang kahulugan altogether kaysa sa indibidwal na kahulugan ng mga salitang bumubuo sa mga ito. Tunghayan kung ano at paano sila gamitin!

– Yes man [sunud-sunuran]: “Sagutin mo lamang ako, kahit maging yes-man mo pa ako!”

– Written all over your face [kitang-kita sa mukha, halata, obvious]: “Alam ko namang gusto mo ako eh. You don’t need to hide or deny. It’s written all over your face.”
