This article presents a cross-cultural analysis of proverbs and sayings in English and Uzbek that share similar semantic meanings. Proverbs and sayings serve as important cultural artifacts reflecting the values, wisdom, and worldviews of different societies. By examining pairs of semantically equivalent proverbs in both languages, the study highlights common themes such as morality, human behavior, and social norms, while also revealing culturally specific nuances and linguistic features unique to each language. The comparative analysis not only contributes to a deeper understanding of cross-cultural communication but also offers practical insights for language learners, translators, and educators. Ultimately, this research underscores the role of proverbs and sayings as bridges connecting diverse cultures through shared human experiences.
