Phraseological units represent an important component of the lexical system of any language. They reflect the cultural, historical, and social experience of a speech community and contribute to the expressiveness of language. The present article examines the semantic features of phraseological units in English and Uzbek languages. The study focuses on the figurative meanings, semantic structure, and cultural specificity of phraseological expressions. Through comparative analysis, the research identifies both similarities and differences in the semantic organization of phraseological units in the two languages. The results demonstrate that phraseological units often carry metaphorical meanings and reflect national cultural traditions and worldview.
