This paper explores the various ways of addressing individuals in
different cultures and languages, focusing on the use of idioms as a form of address.
It examines the role of idioms in communication, their cultural significance, and the
challenges they present to language learners. The study also investigates strategies
for teaching idiomatic expressions and their integration into language teaching
programs. Through a comparative analysis of idiomatic expressions in several
languages, the paper highlights the diversity and complexity of addressing
conventions and their impact on intercultural communication.
