CHALLENGES OF TRANSLATING UZBEK CULTURAL IDIOMS INTO ENGLISH

The translation of Uzbek cultural expressions into English has gained increasing significance in recent years due to the development of global communication and intercultural dialogue. The Uzbek language stands out with its rich lexical treasury, proverbs, aphorisms, and idiomatic expressions that reflect the national worldview. These expressions not only enrich the semantic layer of the language but also encapsulate the history, value system, and lifestyle of the Uzbek people. However, translating these expressions into English presents numerous linguistic, cultural, and practical challenges, making it difficult to produce accurate and contextually appropriate translations.
