This article analyzes the linguocultural features of some proverbs in both English and Uzbek, and reflects the national traditions of both nations and their national character in everyday life. By critically analyzing proverbs in both languages, we will explore more differences and try to articulate the commonalities of similarities by using appropriate sources.
