Idiom of the Day: Speak of the Devil

img_4979




 
Hallo guys! Kali ini kita akan membahas tentang sebuah idiom yang sering kita gunakan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Tapi sebelumnya, apakah kalian tau apa itu idiom? Ya, idiom adalah ungkapan yang tidak memiliki makna sebenarnya. Jadi kita tidak boleh mengartikan idiom sesuai makna katanya ya guys.


Well, kalian pasti pernah menceritakan atau menyebut seseorang dan tiba-tiba saja orang itu muncul atau datang. Apa yang biasa kita ucapkan dalam kondisi seperti ini? Ya betul, "Panjang umurnya". Nah, dalam Bahasa Inggris kita juga memiliki ungkapan atau idiom yang relevan dengan kondisi di atas.


Jika kita membicarakan orang lain dan orang itu tiba-tiba saja muncul, dalam Bahasa Inggris kita mengatakan, "Oh, speak of the devil" yang biasa diartikan "panjang umurnya" dalam konteks Bahasa Indonesia. Gimana guys? Paham kan? Selamat mencoba ya😁😁
