I have so many brb
I have so many brb
"Estar más sano que una pera"= "to be as fit as a fiddle"
"Se me hace la boca agua"- it makes my mouth water
Arrimar el ascua a su sardina - to put ones benefits first
Al hambre no hay pan duro- beggars can't be choosers
Ser del año de la pera - old fashioned
Dar las uvas- someone/something is late/ very slow
Estar como un queso - someone is very attractive
Importar un pimiento/ un pepino - no to worry / care about something at all
¡Ostras!- oh dear!
¡Este es la leche!- it is really awesome/ cool
Estar para chuparse los dedos- it is delicious
No valer la pena- not being worthy
De sol a sol- all day long
Ser uña y carne- very good friends with some
En un abrir y cerrar de ojos- in the blink of an eye
I hope this helps mi amigo
Enjoy español porque es muy divertido
Adiós 👋
Get those top marks

you can use anything that doesn't make sense in English-pretty sure they class as idioms
for example
he de - I have to, has de - you have to ..etc..

Like everyone knows "it's raining cats and dogs"
Just like the examiner is likely to know "Este la leche" aka "this is the milk" since leche is often a swear/ controversial word when not using to describe cow's milk or something.
I realise this just turned into a lesson about idioms but meh who cares 😂😂🔫

Idioms are just common sayings , pretty sure u can't just use random bs as that would be kinda funny 😂

that's what i was told, that's what i did-any random bs that doesn't make sense when u translate literally to English is an idiom, i always scored big in the idioms part for the essay so i see no problem. my list of cool sayings were cool, i didn't have bs like Arrimar el ascua a su sardina - to put ones benefits first- no disrespect but when u gonna use that
