The translation of modal units in literary texts remains one of the most
complex tasks in translation studies due to the semantic, pragmatic, and stylistic
functions modality performs in language. Modal units express the speaker’s attitude
toward reality, including notions of necessity, possibility, obligation, probability, and
emotional evaluation. English and Uzbek differ significantly in the ways they encode
modality, which creates serious challenges for translators. This article explores the
main problems encountered in translating modal units between English and Uzbek
literary texts and discusses possible solutions aimed at preserving meaning, stylistic
nuance, and pragmatic intent. The study emphasizes the importance of contextual and
functional approaches in achieving translation adequacy.
