Abstract: The study of language as a cultural phenomenon reveals itself most vividly not merely in words but in the intricate tapestry of phraseological units, which are more than simple sequences of words. These units, fixed in structure and sense, are forged through generations and embody, within their linguistic forms, the worldview, historical circumstances, spiritual aspirations, and emotional palette of the people who use them. The role of phraseological units in expressing national culture remains one of the most fascinating subjects within the broader field of linguistics, semiotics, and cultural studies. The interconnection between phraseology and the ethos of a nation goes far beyond the lexical inventory, reaching deep into symbolic values, moral codes, and the very identity of a people.
