Is Wahi literal?

[maverick83pk]

Assalam o Alaikum,

Please educate me, is "Wahi" given to Prophets literal or an idea is inspired to him and he translates that idea into his own words? In other words, is a wahi the exact words of God brought by Gabriel to the Prophet or a basic idea of what to say.

Im a newbie so please bear with me  and my questions, i know they can be silly at times Thanks in advance for you inputs everyone.
