Idioms In Tagalog

One of my friends asked:  "Are there idiom equivalents also  in the Tagalog language?" Of course, there are.  Katulad ng idioms sa English, ginagamit ito para tumingkad ang paglalarawan ng mga bagaybagay at para mapaigting  at matalinhaga ang takbo ng usapin o pagsusulat.

And just like in English ... ang kahulugan ng mga "sawikain or idioms" ay magkaiba sa literal meaning ng mga salita. Sa madaling salita ang mga sawikain don't mean exactly what the individual words in it say. Tandaan natin ... ang figurative meaning ng mga sawikain ... is different from its literal meaning.


Bungang tulog's
figurative meaning is panaginip or dreams ... and its literal meaning is the fruit of sleep.

Huwag kang katulad ng kaibigan ko ... noong tinanong ko  kung ano ang figurative meaning ng bungang tulog ... ang sagot ba naman ay muta? Too graphic!
