Abstract

This study examines linguistic, cultural, and pragmatic challenges in translating English proverbs into Uzbek and vice versa. Using a qualitative comparative approach, 150 proverbs were analyzed to identify the most effective translation strategies. Findings indicate that functional and full equivalence are most effective, while literal translation often results in semantic or cultural loss. The study concludes that successful translation requires balancing meaning, cultural context, and pragmatic function.
