Abstract
This article delves into the study of phraseology, focusing on phraseological units (PUs) and the challenges they present. The discussion covers the nature of PUs, their classification, and the difficulties encountered in their interpretation, usage, and translation. Special emphasis is placed on cultural specificity and idiomaticity, which often complicate understanding and cross-linguistic equivalence. The article also offers potential solutions to these challenges, contributing to the broader understanding of linguistic diversity and complexity.
