Mehi and Ma'asi's Idioms


Today me and my partner Mehi were working on a presentation about idioms. I know that idioms are different to literally doing it. For example: I'm going to go 'hit the books' in the library for my test. The idiom hit the books means to go study, instead of literally hitting the books. This presentation shows that me and partner understand which is a idiom.
