B2 Idiomatic Expressions — Espressioni Idiomatiche B2·English to Italian: Translation Challenges (I)
💡

Rule reminder

Idioms rarely translate word-for-word between languages. 'Over the moon' → 'al settimo cielo'; 'in a tight spot' → 'alle strette'; 'dead end' → 'vicolo cieco'. The challenge is mapping the meaning, not the words. Always think about what the English expression MEANS, then find the Italian equivalent.
