About IdiomVN

IdiomVN is a small project for people who enjoy idioms and everyday expressions.

The idea behind the site is simple: many English idioms cannot be translated word for word, yet sometimes there is a Vietnamese expression that carries a very similar meaning. We wanted to collect and share those connections in a place that is easy to explore.

Entries may include meanings, example usage, origins (when reliable references are available), and Vietnamese expressions that are close in meaning.

Language is full of nuance. For that reason, the expressions on this site should be viewed as helpful suggestions rather than the only possible interpretation.

If you have suggestions, ideas, or know of a better equivalent expression, we would be happy to hear from you.

Thank you for visiting IdiomVN.
