What are some (non-English) idioms, and what do they mean (both literally and in context)? Odd ones, your favorite ones - any and all are welcome. :)
For example, in English I might call someone a “good egg,” meaning they’re a nice person. Or, if it’s raining heavily, I might say “it’s raining cats and dogs.”
“It went to the forest” - we have that one in Swedish as well: “Det gick åt skogen”. It’s possible that it crossed the border in either direction during our imperial days, I suppose.
