Abstrak:
The article examines cultural and gender aspects of phraseological units expressing human intellectual abilities in English and Uzbek. It analyzes how idioms reflect national perceptions of intellect through metaphors of sharpness, light, and emptiness. The study shows that English emphasizes rationality and individuality, while Uzbek highlights moral wisdom and collective harmony. Gender patterns reveal that male intellect is linked with logic and authority, whereas female intelligence is associated with intuition and morality
