The main difference between a proverb and an idiom lies in their meaning and usage:
1. Proverb
A proverb is a short, well-known saying that expresses a general truth, advice, or wisdom.
It often has a complete meaning on its own and can be understood literally.
Example:
"Honesty is the best policy." (Advice about the importance of honesty)
"Actions speak louder than words." (A general truth about behavior)
2. Idiom
An idiom is a phrase or expression whose meaning is not literal but rather figurative.
The meaning is often different from the individual words in the phrase.
Example:
"Break the ice." (To start a conversation in a social setting)
"Spill the beans." (To reveal a secret)
