This article examines the linguacultural interpretation of Uzbek and English phraseological units that convey human spirituality. It analyzes idioms, proverbs, and fixed expressions as reflections of moral and cultural values, drawing on the works of Uzbek and international scholars. The study demonstrates that phraseology is both a linguistic and cultural phenomenon, contributing to the preservation of national identity, intercultural understanding, and the transmission of spiritual heritage in the context of globalization.
