Read the following line of dialogue from “when greek meets greek” “when you are in rome, do as the romans do.” Is it colloquialism, idiom, jargon, or slang?

Answer:

Idiom

Step-by-step explanation:

An idiom is a phrase that means something different than what it literally means. "When in Rome, do as Romans do" means to imitate the people around you if you're in a new situation and don't know how to react.
