Phraseological units, including idioms, proverbs, and fixed expressions, are significant cultural and linguistic markers within any language. This paper explores the similarities and differences between English and Uzbek phraseological units through a comparative lens, focusing on their semantic structure, cultural imagery, and syntactic behavior. Using selected examples, we highlight how phraseological meaning is shaped by the worldview of each linguistic community. The study reveals both universal cognitive patterns and language-specific cultural references that affect phraseological equivalence and translatability.
