Question

idiomatic The instructions for assembling the TV probably sounded fine in the original Chinese but weren't exactly written in idiomatic English. ˌɪdiəˈmætɪk

Accepted Answer

In a manner conforming to the particular forms of a language. The speech and writing of a native-born English-speaker may seem crude, uneducated, and illiterate, but will almost always be idiomatic—that is, a native speaker always sounds like a native speaker. For a language learner, speaking and writing idiomatically in another language is the greatest challenge. Even highly educated foreign learners—professors, scientists, doctors, etc.—rarely succeed in mastering the kind of idiomatic English spoken by an American 7th-grader.
