Idioms are fixed figurative expressions—like "break the ice" or "spill the beans"—whose meaning can't be worked out from the literal words alone. Fluency with idioms is a marker of advanced language proficiency and is often highlighted on resumes or in teaching contexts for translators, writers, and language instructors. Mastering them helps with natural-sounding communication, humor, and cultural nuance in a given language.
