Hello everyone,

Let's learn more by knowing more idioms. What do you think? Could you bring more idioms with its definition.

Idioms are used mostly in different daily conversations and typical situations.

For me this is the first idioms. Could please continue?:

This is another one:

Die down = become less severe

I have read some words in a book..

( An English book..Name : Laser Pre-FCE)

But didn'u understand it..So asked my English teacher to learn the mean! :))

When she said me mean, I was in a big suprse..Becasue I had guessed a bit about mean.But  never thought a mean as it! :))

It is >> Come rain or shine

It means that smth will definitely happen, no matter what the weather may be)

An examle sentence: Fenerbahce are going to win the cup on Saturday, come rain or shine)

come rain or shine – it could be in relation to the vagaries of the weather, but it is not always necessarily so. Suppose you are in an enclosed office, you might say "I am going to finish this project by this evening, come rain or shine.", would mean that you are determined to finish the project despite any possible interruptions.
