This article investigates the representation of numerative units in the phraseological worldview of English and Karakalpak languages from a comparative linguocultural perspective. The study focuses on the symbolic, semantic, emotional, and cultural functions of numerals within phraseological units. Comparative, descriptive, semantic, and linguocultural methods were employed during the research. The findings demonstrate that numerals such as one, two, seven, and hundred function as important symbolic elements expressing unity, duality, exaggeration, emotional intensity, and cultural worldview. Furthermore, the analysis revealed both universal cognitive tendencies and ethnocultural peculiarities in English and Karakalpak phraseology.
