In this part of the research we analyzed some native English and American phrases and idioms which
require some special knowledge to get the point and use

The phrase is very active in everyday speech. It is usually used in informal speech in order to express
emotiveness and exaggeration.

ammamning buzog’i”. Oybek, “Quyosh qoraymas”

distinctions of the two nations’ expressing their ideas phrases. As for English phrases, they have some
Proper nouns concerning to the English history and literature: according to Hoyle, Davy Jones locker. Also,
the English are very rich in quotes which are taken from their greatest literary sources, such as W.
Shakespeare, Ch. Dickens, Arthur Canon Doyle etc: Alas, poor Yorick! / knew him Horatio; elementary my
dear, Watson. We can also witness some geographical names in their idioms - As black as Newgate’s
knocker - which is very rare in Uzbek phrases. However, in Uzbek native Phraseological units there are lots
of words concerning to the everyday activity of humankind. Also, there is widely used the part of the body -
qattiq qo’rqmoq,qon yutmoq, ко ’zini ochmoq, yurak yutmoq- in comparison to English phrases.
Nevertheless, one cannot reject some similarities of phrases of both languages. They are the use of some
words specific to the nations’ cultures only: to ’ydan oldin nog’ora chalmoq, kovushini tog’rilamoq; as easy
as pie, save one’s bacon broad use of metaphor and metonymy in forming the phraseological units: bag’ri
keng, oyoq qo’ymoq; yellow belly, a labour of love.

phraseological units. We mainly dealt with distinctive features of English phraseological units. Because as
Uzbek language speakers we have some difficulties in translation concerning to English language
phraseological units.
