1.(expression) gen expression f, Ling locution f;
2.Ling (part of clause) syntagme m;
noun ~ syntagme nominal;
3.Mus phrase f.


phrase: (expression) expression tournure nf

Longman's Dictionary of Contemporary English says:

a group of words that together have a particular meaning, expecially when they express the meaning well in a few words:

examples :

He said the President was- What was the phrase is used ? "trigger happy"

Mrs Thatcher was, in Gorbachev's phrase, "the iron lady".
