Abstract

This article analyzes the important role of idioms and expressions in the cultural and linguistic structure of any language. The fact that idioms and expressions cannot be translated literally has always been a challenge for translators. Translators need to increase their linguistic resources, but also find appropriate equivalents in the language. The article explores the complexities of translating idioms and expressions, including strategies such as idiomatic equivalence, paraphrase, and cultural adaptation. The discussion highlights the importance of culture in preserving meaning, tone, and communicativeness in languages. Effective idiom translation enhances intercultural communication, helps maintain language and cultural relations.
