FEATURES OF ENGLISH PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS AND ISSUES OF THEIR TRANSLATION INTO UZBEK
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper investigates the distinctive features of English phraseological units and analyzes the challenges involved in translating them into Uzbek. Phraseological units, which include idioms, collocations, and fixed expressions, reflect the worldview, humor, and cultural practices of native speakers. Their translation into another language is rarely straightforward due to differences in linguistic structure, metaphorical systems, and cultural context. This study categorizes phraseological units, discusses their structural and semantic traits, and evaluates translation strategies through real-life examples. The analysis emphasizes the importance of linguistic competence and cultural literacy for successful idiomatic translation.
