Abstract. Translating idiomatic expressions poses significant challenges due to their cultural and linguistic specificity. This study explores the difficulties translators face when rendering idiomatic expressions from English to Uzbek and vice versa, highlighting the role of cultural nuances, linguistic structures, and contextual dependencies. Additionally, it explores the impact of cultural context on idiomatic interpretation and how translators navigate these cultural intricacies. By addressing the multifaceted nature of translating idioms, this article contributes to a deeper understanding of the challenges inherent in bridging linguistic and cultural gaps in the realm of translation.
