I got you blubliblue! Been a little hectic round here lately - LOL x <3

[learnenglishidioms]

Hi blubliblue - well for one bananas and oranges don't grow in the UK. But more importantly the eye has always been the central part of something - eyesight being very precious (like, say the bull's eye as the centre of a target) and the phrase is really old - 1200 years is the first recorded mention of this phrase. Apples were the most common round objects so it possibly came from that. More than that I do not know!

Lol

Thank u so much for ur correction :))

[learnenglishidioms]

Yes Heba I was talking with you :D - since you asked for the idiom! And I don't know why but you can only say 'eye' in the singular (not 'eyes'). So Heba - YOU are the apple of my eye!

[HebaAlaaEldin]

U are the apple of my eyes :))

Have nice day full of smiles,this is my smile to u :)))

Thanks for the lesson. Brilliant idea to teach english idioms.

[learnenglishidioms]

Hi - Originally meaning the central aperture of the eye. Figuratively it is something, or more usually someone, cherished above others.

Lol - enjoy the day!

[blubliblue]

Yes, of course, in spanish we also have the same expression but we dont use an apple on it.. I got the whole idea but not the apple... Ok let me put is this way!!!

Why did they choose an apple and not an orange or a banana? :) It would have sounded like this... u r the banana of my eye....

I´m still very curious :))))

thanks anyway !

[blubliblue]

It would be interesting to know where that expression come from, because literally does not make much sense.... I know, Idiomatical english :) What is behind of it if I may ask!!!

Thanks
