Distinguishes the idioms that they do not change use. For example, the phrase 'iron will' know absolutely everything and is used to describe a person with a solid temperament. But the phrase – steel door identifies the type of material making concrete products, therefore, is not sustainable. Private, anoint 'winged', the expressions used in different languages. And their semantic load is identical.

A large number of idioms borrowed computer subjects in Russian language than English. There is computer slang dictionary, which includes more than 1,6 thousand lexical items. In recent years in the business communication are present unusual Ukrainian layman phrases such as 'Site Layout', 'optimization', on-line meeting and many others. It is very difficult to translate the figurative expressions, which are elements of folklore. This is evidenced by an English translation following proverb: 'Woman with a cart – the mare is easier.
