An idiom is a group of words whose meaning is different from the meanings of the individual words. For example, “Let the cat out of the bag” does not mean that you literally let a cat out of a bag. It means that you told a secret by mistake. 

Ідіома - це група слів, значення яких відрізняється від значень окремих слів. Наприклад, "Let the cat out of the bag" не означає, що ви буквально випустили кота з мішка. Це означає, що ви помилково розповіли секрет.
