Hi Native Speakers,
I’d like to ask you all a question:
These opera tickets are very expensive! (non-idiomatic expression)
These opera tickets cost us an arm and a leg! (idiomatic expression)
Idiomatic expressions are more commonly used in your daily conversation than non-idiomatic ones?
Thanks a million!

Yes. We tend to use idioms more often; especially when we want to over exaggerate something

We use idioms pretty often. We use idioms to exaggerate our feelings because exaggeration makes our conversation more interesting and funny. The more original or unique the idiom, the more interesting and funny the conversation.
