Neither fish nor fowl

You're surely familiar with Czech phrases like „hodit flintu do žita“ (to throw in the towel) or „držet palce“ (to keep your fingers crossed). But you might not know that these are fixed expressions – idioms. Idiomatic phrases often have multiple variations within a single language, but they can also be found across different languages. The author of this book has found the closest equivalents to Czech idioms in the official languages of the European Union and compiled this humorous and educational book, which entertains while helping you dive deeper into your language studies.
