In recent years, some challenges encountered in translating into English have been studied. This article analyzes the main difficulties in translating humor and phraseological units from Uzbek into English. The study examines effective translation methods based on formal and dynamic equivalence theories. The results show that dynamic equivalence adapted to the cultural context is the most effective approach when translating humor and wordplay. Furthermore, the article emphasizes the creative aspects of translation, as well as the necessity of understanding cultural knowledge and context, which helps preserve the impact of humor in another language. Accuracy and correctness in literal translation are of great importance. The main goal of this article is not to translate words directly, but to convey their emotions and demonstrate to students how important this process is.
