there's an Indian (?) guy who kept asking [ Is this idiomatic? ]

when i asked him what the question meant, he stopped.

idiomatic ------- The speech and writing of a native-born English-speaker may seem crude, uneducated, and illiterate, but will almost always be idiomatic—that is, a native speaker always sounds like a native speaker. For a language learner, speaking and writing idiomatically in another language is the greatest challenge.

id·i·o·mat·ic [ˌidēəˈmadik] ADJECTIVE

1. using, containing, or denoting expressions that are natural to a native speaker:
--------------- "distinctive idiomatic dialogue"

synonyms:
natural · native-speaker · grammatical · correct · vernacular · colloquial · everyday · conversational

2. appropriate to the style of art or music associated with a particular period, individual, or group:

---------------- "a short Bach piece containing lots of idiomatic motifs"

Because in charge of sequence, Yoda was.

Did you plagiarise your quote from this link:
<https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/idiomatic>

You should learn to provide your reference if you want to be normal, without sounding racist, in
this world.
