An idiom is a phrase or expression whose meaning is different from the literal meanings of the words. It is commonly used in everyday language and often unique to a particular language or culture. For example, "break the ice" means to start a conversation.

The idiom is an expression used figuratively and in common use at all social and cultural levels of a country. Generally, it is included in spoken language and only exceptionally appears in written discourse.
The sense of the idiom does not include a sentence (e.g. to come to blows, for example), but it is sometimes equivalent to the proverbial phrase, which does express a sentence (one should not rest on one's laurels).
With few exceptions, the idiom cannot be translated into other languages, nor can its words be replaced by other words, even if they are synonyms: no one would think of replacing the phrase "se juntaron el hambre y las ganas de comer" by "se unieron el apetito y las ganas de ingerir", words which have almost the same meaning, but which do not acquire the value of an idiom because they are not the ones that have been used together to express the original idea.
