I'm not sure if the meaning is the same, but there is a phrase that we say in English, it's "solid as a rock". But normally I think we use this phrase to describe someone's appearance, like for someone that really works out and has a lot of muscles you would say they're solid as a rock.
I will do more research, but that is the first thing that came to mind. :cool:
Muy bueno el ejemplo! Se utiliza cuando cuando algo es seguro, fuertemente afianzado, sólido como roca.
Hi guys
but the expression "Firme como rulo de estatua" doesn't refer to a physical appearance, right? It's more related to an attitude? Pim, can you explain a little bit?
hace referencia a alguien que siempre está presente ya sea en el trabajo o en la casa. Nunca falta por eso se dice que está firme como rulo de estatua. También aplica a una postura física pero mi pregunta iba más allá de la obviedad.
bueno, sí tenemos la frase "like a statue". Aunque no sé si trasmite el mismo significado...
I don't know what your context is, but here are some possible translations: "He's always there (for me)." "He's always around."
These are not colorful idioms like your expression, but they might convey the meaning.

EX: The business is solid as a rock; When it comes to dependability he is as solid as a rock.; His faith in his wife is solid as a rock; Her reputation is solid as a rock;
The phrase can also shortened up by saying "rock solid".
EX: Can we trust her? Yes, she's rock solid!; That business has a rock solid reputation; As an employee he is rock solid.
The phrase is common and has myriad applications.
Wonderfully said vicente! :cool:
