English Idiom: Talk is cheap
People talk all the time.
Many people say they will do something, but they never do it. Talk is cheap, you see.
It takes little time or effort to say what you will do.
It is easy to say something but much harder to do it.
Your company may promise you a better workstation, a more comfortable chair, and a computer not made in the Showa era.
Still, talk is cheap, and you can only really believe it when it happens.
The company will promise you the moon, but you know actions speak louder than words.
The idiom talk is cheap, means it is easier to say something than to do it.
