Abstract
Minangkabau is one of the tribes in Indonesia that tends to use figurative language. However, as technology advances, its use has begun to diminish. one of the reasons is the young generation's lack of understanding of the meaning of the figurative language. This paper describes the effort to enhance the knowledge and understanding of Minangkabau idioms. The use of Minangkabau idioms is now suspected to be diminishing due to the limited knowledge of the younger generation of the idiom meaning. One attempt to reintroduce the meaning of the Minangkabau idiom is through transformation into an image form. This research collects idioms that are directly related to daily life. Selected idioms that carry moral contents and daily life guidance are transformed into visual forms, comic strips, and illustrations. It is expected, the transformation will increase knowledge and facilitate the understanding of the younger generation, especially towards the Minangkabau idioms. In other words, this research is one of the efforts to revitalize and socialize Minangkabau traditional culture.
