Abstract
Phraseologisms are an integral part of any language, reflecting cultural values, historical background, and social norms. This study provides a comparative analysis of Uzbek and English phraseologisms, highlighting similarities and differences in structure, meaning, and usage. The research demonstrates how phraseological expressions shape communication, convey cultural identity, and enrich both languages. Understanding cross-linguistic phraseologisms improves language learning, translation skills, and cross-cultural communication.
