Translate an Everyday English Phrase Into Natural, Idiomatic French

A straight translation gives you the literal words; a native speaker would say something else entirely. This translates your phrase naturally, then shows the literal version underneath so you can see exactly where the grammar diverges, plus a note on whether it's formal, casual, or best avoided in polite company.
