All right.

The name of idiom today is make a mountain out of a molehill.

All right . Let's take a look at the note here.

If someone makes a mountain out of a molehill, he or she exaggerates something or puts too

much emphasis on an insignificant issue.

Or at least you think it is insignificant.

You think it is not that important.

All right.

Now a molehill, literally a molehill is a small pile of dirt that is made by a mole.

A mole is an animal that lives underground, they usually have very poor eyesight.

That is digging underground.

It is very small.

So if you say someone is making a mountain out of a molehill , it means you are exaggerating.

A molehill is tiny you are comparing it to a real mountain.

So the importance of this issue is more like a molehill which is really small and a mountain

is really huge.

But you are acting like, it is important enough like a whole mountain.

So that is where the idea of this comes from.

All right . Anyway, let's look at several examples here.

This is just the way.

We would use it.

Example number one.

Stop exaggerating.

You always make a mountain out of a molehill.

Yeah.

You could almost hear someone saying that, Using those exact words.

Number two.

This is not serious at all.

Don't make a mountain out of a molehill.

Yeah, very often people will say that.

They'll say don't do that.

Don't make a mountain out of a molehill.

And number three.

The media is making a mountain out of a molehill.

What is the big deal ? This is nothing of significance, especially nowadays for some

reason .the media wants to jump on a particular story and make it seem much more important

than it really is.

In that case we are saying they are making a mountain out of a molehill.

It is not that big a deal.

It is not that significant.

But they are making it sound like it is.

Anyway, I hope you got it . I hope it is clear.

Thank you for your time.

Bye-bye.
