Abstract

The translation of English proverbs into Uzbek presents a significant 
and multifaceted linguistic challenge for translators, scholars, and language learners 
alike. Proverbs, as a form of folklore, encapsulate centuries of collective wisdom, 
moral lessons, and cultural identity within concise and memorable expressions. When 
translating English proverbs into Uzbek, one must recognize that these succinct 
statements are often deeply embedded within the source culture’s worldview, values, 
and lived experiences. This gives rise to a wide array of issues, ranging from lexical 
and semantic equivalence to cultural and pragmatic adaptation, all of which come to 
the fore and require careful consideration.
