Welcome to the A to Z English podcast.
My name is Jack, and I'm here with my co host, Sochil.
And today we are going to talk about an idiom and Sochil.
What is today's idiom?
Today's idiom, Jack, is the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Nice.
Okay.
And how common would you say this idiom is?
I would say it's pretty common.
I've heard it used a lot and generally meant to denote someone's child.
So the person being the tree, figuratively in this instance, and the apple being the child, having a lot of similar traits to their parent.
So, for those of you who don't know trait a lot of characteristics, for example, they might have the same mannerisms or expressions, or they might look the same.
The same physical features as well.
Yeah.
Like my brother and I, we have the same laugh, we talk in the same style, the same cadence, we have the same kind of speaking style.
And even though I want to change my speaking style, it's hard for me to change it because it's genetic.
And so my brother and I share that trait, and I also share some of those traits with my mother and my father.
