As a native English speaker, I understand that “having the blues” means you’re melancholic or even depressed. I feel that I should caution non-native speakers from asking someone or referring to someone as “have the blues” because it can sound dismissive of how they really feel.

As a native English speaker, I've also noticed a generational gap when it comes to use of idioms. The elderly seem to use different expressions than the young. For example, I've never heard anyone under 50 say "paint the town red". Us Millennials seem to use metaphors more than expressions or sayings. Slang is an interesting thing.

Native English speaker from the US. A white elephant is also any gift that is of questionable value or is more trouble than it is worth. This video is also good for some people on the autism spectrum who have difficulty with idioms in general. Thank you. 🙂👍

I am an interpreter. Idioms and colloquialisms are often the hardest for second language users to learn and understand. It’s nice to have a place to talk about them. English is very rich in idioms. Some more colorful idioms could be: Seeing red: enraged Blue in the face: basically it means wasting your time talking about a matter to the point as if you are running out of air and turning blue( I could tell him til I’m blue in the face and he will never understand ) In the red: in debt In the black: making a profit In the pink: healthy

I have the blues- this is the appropriate idiom to explain my feeling rn

You are amazing. I found you very late. But never too late. 💝💝💝💝

Some of these were new to me, and I'm a native speaker who has been teaching English as a foreign language for 8-9 years! The reason for this is that idioms are used differently in different English-speaking countries and even in different locations within those countries. It was interesting to learn some new ones.

I just love the way of her teaching and her voice❤

Some more colours idiom from my side *A red letter day (A memorable day) *Black and blue (bruised and beaten) In black and white(in written, very clear) *Black market(selling and buying illegally) *Have a yellow belly( act cowardly) *In red( in debt. Overdrawn) Hope it's helpful 4 all of u

I found this channel actually in 2018 when I was at mid-school. But, at that time my listening skill was so bad, I still lacked of vocabulary and I didn't understand even a single sentence from Marina's speech. But in quaratine period, I want to deal with it. I listen to Marina's videos everyday since October 2020. At first, it was hard to understand the videos. I had to pause the video, search the meaning of words at google, took a screenshots, etc. However, I keep did that for 1,5 months and I can recognize my skill was increasing. Until now, I keep listen to Marina's videos and now every time when I listen to Marina, it is very enjoyable and super clear. Thanks, teacher.

Now, when someone makes "an executive decision" on a (planned) course of action, and the plan does NOT work out very well, then he is going to "get a black eye" from HIS boss...it doesn't have to be physical boxing (fight). It's just "a figure of speech", or IDIOM. ... a similar situation with the next one down on your list. You obviously have LIVED in the U.S. to have such a grasp of these "sayings", slang, idioms, figures-of-speech .. because they can't be easily taught (or learned) from a book.
