Abstract

This article offers a phraseological analysis of the concept of "happiness" in Uzbek and English languages. Although the concept of happiness is universal, its expression in language and culture varies. The article analyzes how happiness is reflected through phraseological units and what language tools are used. By comparing the phraseological combinations of happiness in Uzbek and English languages, it examines the differences and similarities of this concept in the two cultures. Phraseologisms expressing happiness also reflect people's views on happiness and show how cultures can differ through language. This study expands the analysis of the concept of happiness from the point of view of phraseological units and linguistics.
