How to say it (Idiom = a phrase with a special meaning, not word-by-word): Learn the idiom as one block with its meaning: piece of cake = बहुत आसान. Do not translate word by word. 'Under the weather' means ill, not under the sky. on time = exactly at the planned time (ठीक समय पर); in time = early enough, before it is late (समय रहते).
