*What is an idiomatic phrase?
An idiomatic phrase is a speech form or an expression of a given language that is peculiar to itself grammatically or cannot be understood from the individual meanings of its elements.
Basic English: Idiomatic phrase = a group of words that is understood in one language because of previous language knowledge of the phrase. (The idiomatic phrase will not translate directly into another language.)
