Phraseologism is a unique means of each language. In Russian, there are more than one and a half thousand of them.

The value of set expressions is that they develop speech, making it more literate, diverse, beautiful. That is why the question arises: "What phraseologism to replace neutral words and phrases?".

What to replace?

People rarely use the neutral phrase "very fast" in everyday life. To replace phraseologism for us is a common thing. After all, a suitable stable phrase sounds more natural and familiar.

We have selected a number of catch phrases that can replace the phrase "very quickly". Which phraseological units fit best in Take a look at the list:

Antonymic phraseological units

"Very fast" has its opposite, "very slow". This neutral expression is also replaced by more interesting lexical items. Consider a list of such phraseological units:


Examples from the literature

It is better to observe phraseological units in artistic, journalistic and other texts.

Here is an excerpt from the collection "The Copper Box" by Dina Rubina: "Sherlock was ready to ..., ... sell his soul to the devil for a sausage. ... the teaching went by leaps and bounds"

We are talking about a thoroughbred dog, which began to train. Education went "by leaps and bounds", that is, very quickly, progressively. However, the narrator notes that without encouragement, the puppy would not follow commands. This speaks of the ironic use of phraseological units.

A phrase from "Real Estate" by A. Volos: "... before you have time to look back, the Christmas trees will start to sell." Here the idiom expresses the imminent approach of the New Year.

And here is an excerpt from the "Notes of a Madman" by the famous N.V. Gogol: "Sometimes you rush about like a madman, ..., you will not set either a number or a number." Here phraseologism is used to condemn the haste in important matters.

Phraseologisms are winged expressions that do not have an author. Authorship doesn't matter. These "highlights" have firmly entered our language, and are perceived as a natural element of speech coming from the people, from time immemorial.

Phraseological units are an ornament of speech. Imagery, which is easily perceived in native speech, becomes a stumbling block in a foreign, foreign language. We absorb our language model with mother's milk.

For example, when you say, “a storehouse of knowledge,” you don’t think about the fact that a storehouse is a well! Because when you say this, you don’t mean a well at all, but a smart person, from whom, like from a well, you can draw useful information.

Phraseologisms and their meanings Examples

The meaning of phraseological units is to give emotional coloring to the expression, to strengthen its meaning.

Phraseology is a branch of the science of language that studies stable combinations of words. Phraseologism is a stable combination of words, or a stable expression. Used to name objects, signs, actions. It is an expression that arose once, became popular and entrenched in the speech of people. The expression is endowed with figurativeness, it can have a figurative meaning. Over time, the expression can take on a broad meaning in everyday life, partially including the original meaning or completely excluding it.

The phraseological unit as a whole has lexical meaning. The words included in the phraseological unit separately do not convey the meaning of the entire expression. Phraseologisms can be synonymous (at the end of the world, where the raven did not bring bones) and antonymous (lift up to heaven - trample into the dirt). Phraseologism in a sentence is one member of the sentence. Phraseologisms reflect a person and his activities: work (golden hands, fool around), social relations (bosom friend, put sticks in wheels), personal qualities (turn up your nose, sour mine), etc. Phraseologisms make the statement expressive, create imagery. Set expressions are used in works of art, in journalism, in everyday speech. Set expressions are otherwise called idioms. Many idioms in other languages ​​- English, Japanese, Chinese, French.

This page contains phraseological units of various kinds, everything is described in detail and sorted out, so that everything is convenient. Otherwise, they are called phraseological turns. These are phrases that, in terms of the composition of their words, do not correspond to true words, but at the same time are solidary in meaning. Proverbs and sayings do not count :-)
