notes:

the meaning of english and greek words differ:

[[ιδίωμα]] = refers to dialects with few differences (mainly pronunciation, vocabulary) from standard lang. mutually intelligible,

[[idiom]] = phrase or an expression that has a figurative, or sometimes literal, meaning. Categorized as formulaic language

[[διάλεκτος]] = morphological variety of a lang (usually geographic) {very diff from standaρd. one needs translator. for the idiom, not}

[[dialect]] = a variety of a language that is a characteristic of a particular group
