This study explores the similarities between Uzbek and English idioms, highlighting their shared characteristics and cultural significance.

Furthermore, the study examines the metaphorical language employed in both Uzbek and English idioms, revealing parallel imagery and conceptual frameworks that transcend cultural boundaries. By analyzing specific idiomatic expressions, this work underscores the role of idioms in fostering cross-cultural understanding and communication, illustrating that while the languages may differ, the underlying human experiences they encapsulate remain strikingly similar. Ultimately, this comparative analysis contributes to a greater appreciation of the richness of idiomatic language and its capacity to connect diverse cultures through shared meanings.
