Are they nice? =P
Well, I have the sudden urge for chicken, the Asian kind that's covered in the sweet sauce. =D

Hehe, my pleasure. =)
What are you having for breakfast?

Hahaha, thank you very much~ ^__^
I wouldn't say that it necessarily doesn't exist at all, as much as it isn't so common, since the English language can be used in a variety of ways, you know? Still, though, I think being creative in your writing is very effective if you can communicate your what you're trying to say clearly, so that the people reading can understand.

Well, considering that the latter idiom isn't a common one, if it's even one at all, I suppose you'd be right on that. Just use the "tackle the problem" one in that case. =) Still, I have noticed how idioms generally are used in a more...informal and modern way, but I suppose that's just my opinion. Do you feel the same way? Like, if I say, "See you later, alligator" as an idiom, I could expect to see it in modern English today amongst people conversing informally, but I wouldn't expect say, the Queen of England, to use it.

lol ok i will talk more tommorow if you are on night

heheheheeh true but if you did know me you would say that i am just like tidus* looks around to make sure noone is here*

then you would think i was cute because i look just like him

ok great its always nice to have friends isn't it????

lol i am talking about your profile it says you like to learn so you can learn on here so i was asking if since you can learn here that you might just stay for a while

i'm glad you can learn here i guess that means you're gonna stay for a while????

well actually tidus is my favorite in x funny thing is i actually look alot like him for living in maine i am kinda dark skinned what is it you are trying to find out about my language ????

I think that's pretty much it, yeah. I haven't ever heard of "strike the problem" before, but I suppose it could technically mean the same, since both strike and tackle are physical verbs. =)

Heh-heh, glad to help~ =)
Ah, so that's what you meant. xD I can't say I've heard of that before, but if you were to substitute the word "strike" with "tackle," which almost means the same, then you have a common English idiom: tackle the problem/issue. Suppose that it does mean the same as "tackle the problem," that idiom would mean that you try and solve or resolve the problem at hand.

I'm doing pretty well today. Thanks for asking. How about you? =)
Hmm, by "English," you mean that it's just used naturally in English and such, right? If that's the case, then yes, there are many English idioms. For example, "A little bird told me," is used often when the person doesn't want to reveal where he or she received his or her information from. =)

Ummm.... I can't say that I've heard any idioms that use that phrase. The closest one I can think of would be to "strike a cord", which means that something seems familiar to you.

Here's a site that lists a bunch of idioms that are related to "problem". It also tells you what they mean and how they're used:
