английском, русском и узбекском языках.

As we are all aware, our mother tongue, Uzbek, is a rich language in every way. Among
all of the languages spoken in Europe, English is one of the most commonly used languages. The
value of these languages is reflected in their distinctive characteristics. Uzbek proverbs, for
instance, are a clear example of the Uzbek language's richness in visual expression, including its
ability to express the same idea in a variety of ways, and its colorful nature. At the International
conference on "Urgent issues of studying and promoting Uzbek classical and modern literature at
the international level," President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Sh.M. Mirziyoyev said, "If
literature, art, and culture live, the nation and all humanity live."
English proverbs are distinguished by their diversity, ability to convey meaning clearly,
and ability to express a wide range of ideas, even though we are unable to fully explore all of these
possibilities within the confines of the English language. It is evident from Uzbek proverbs that a
variety of topics are deftly addressed, including the national culture, mentality, and traditional
lifestyle of the Uzbek people.
English proverbs express this country's worldview and offer practical solutions for
resolving problems in daily life, the workplace, and interpersonal relationships. Each language's
literature serves as that country's encyclopedia. Proverbs are included in the category of folklore
in this encyclopedia. The language, meaning, and vocabulary of these proverbs in society, as well
as their application to daily life and youth education, should all be studied in order to comprehend
their original meaning, absorb it, and draw important conclusions. For a citizen of any country,
how they view their status is crucial. Studying proverbs and expressions is always pertinent
because they are an essential component of the rich spiritual legacy.
Studying proverbs is one of the major issues that have plagued not only in linguistics and
but also in literary studies sphere. The proverb challenges people's thinking, particularly that of
the youth, and aids in the development of virtues such as honesty, hard work, selflessness, bravery,
courage, persistence, and perseverance. Therefore, it is accurate to state that proverbs encourage a
person's human qualities. Proverbs are used in daily life not only by the Uzbek or English people

but also by people from other countries. Based on its etymology, the word "proverb" is derived
from the Arabic verb Kavlun, which means to speak or say. There are proverbs in every language,
including English and Uzbek. Words in proverbs cannot be substituted with another ones.
Every proverb associated with any language or nation represents a unique instance of folk
oral creativity that demonstrates the people's wisdom, distilled over centuries of experience,
national spirit, and cultural distinctiveness. Proverbs in Uzbek and English are identical. Folk art
study is becoming more and more important in the context of any language as a modern-day
necessity. Despite being viewed as a by-product of folklore, proverbs are regarded by linguists and
experts from other fields as a useful scientific and theoretical tool. Representatives of these
disciplines include folklorists, philosophers, psychologists, cultural scientists, historians, and
ethnographers. The word proverb can theoretically be understood to refer to a people's experience,
breath, cry, and every feeling and experience of them.
Nowadays, linguists are concerned with a number of important issues, including the
thorough analysis of proverbs and their study, as well as the analysis of proverbs using the method
of expressing the national-cultural traditions and values of different linguistic circles. In the event
that we choose to study languages through a comparative approach, we will discover that every
language in the globe exhibits distinct and meaningful characteristics that set them apart from one
another. The links and parallels between their mother tongue and the language they are learning
help language learners learn. As a result, we can classify these languages together under distinct
headings. Semantic, lexical, functional, and grammatical signs are a few examples of these
categories. Such generalizing categories are what we can refer to as tools.
Every country and people, as we all know, has its own beliefs, national and traditional
traits, distinctive and timely fantastical and textile images, and a variety of figurative meanings.
uses examples as a starting point for compounds. Similarly, we observe that the aforementioned
characteristics are reflected in proverbs and proverbs found in William Shakespeare's works.
Global populations may speak different languages, but they share similar or identical thought
processes and physical characteristics. We can use proverbs from various languages as an example.
These proverbs serve the same purpose, which is to act as a linguistic and didactic tool for various
situations in the daily lives of the people who use them, despite the fact that they are expressed in
different languages and in different forms.
After studying proverbs in English, Arabic, and Russian, E. V. Kukhareva made
conclusions and provided a description of them as follow: "Themes and circumstances are
common to most proverbs. The commonality in proverbs is attributed by epidemiologists in
different ways: some attribute it to kinship and ethnic origin, others attribute it to the introduction
and acceptance of new domestic and cultural relations, and a third group of scientists attributes it
to historical development steps and "They argue that there is a harmony of ideas."
Proverbs are now studied as a unit of linguistic culture as well as an example of folk art,
according to K. Y. Alibekov. He concluded that while the concepts of "health" and "hygiene" were
precious necessities in Russian culture, in Uzbek and Kazakh languages, these concepts were
equated with wealth. This waas achieved by comparing the concepts of "health" and "hygiene" in
these three languages. The text makes clear that this idea has nearly identical connotations in the
national cultures of the three countries.

"Proverbs are the result of historical thoughts of the different nations," said K.
Tumanishvili, and he called them the "autobiographical" memory of a certain group. Proverbs are
examples of the national form, situated harmoniously within the national psyche and grounded in
the national cognitive framework. Naturally, this displays the characteristics of the ethnic group.
And genetic information is what builds it.
Therefore, linguists, scientists, and researchers from all over the world have studied and
interpreted proverbs extensively, considering them to be very important tools. Their scientific,
practical, linguistic, cultural, national, and universal qualities have all been the subject of numerous
studies. Knowing proverbs and comprehending their meanings requires much knowledge.
The use of these instruments in writing dates back to ancient times, as does the history of
learning and the formation of proverbs—a unique form of folk art. We can say that proverbs are
as old as nations, even though it is unknown when and how they originated. As an illustration of
folklore, proverbs have played a significant role in the development of numerous peoples,
particularly those in Central Asia. Proverbs are unique because they have been continuously
developed and improved over time, spanning a wide range of topics and covering a lot of ground.
Proverbs have been honed, distilled, shared among people and humanity over the ages, and have
evolved.
Proverbs have become more significant in both literary and societal contexts, and they are
frequently employed in a wide range of contexts. For instance, proverbs from people who speak
the Turkish language family were frequently used by the eminent scholar of the eleventh century,
M. Koshgari, in his work "Devonu Lughati Turk". This work serves as both an explanation
dictionary for words in the language of that era and a comprehensive dictionary covering the
entirety of Central Asia at the time, from Upper China to Movorounnahr, Khorezm, Ferghana, and
Bukhara. We can characterize it as a singular philological work that offers details on the peoples,
tribes, clans, languages, and artistic folk.
Like their Uzbek counterparts, English folk proverbs are highly ideal and among the best
examples of folklore. They have developed over a considerable amount of time based on a variety
of real-world and everyday problems. An extensive and significant subject in English linguistics
is the history of the study of English folk proverbs. Numerous scientists have worked in this field,
conducting a variety of studies. Proverbs from countries with similar languages, cultures, and
customs tend to be similar or close to one another as well. The holy book "Bible" has a prominent
place in English and Western European folklore, particularly in the dissemination of proverbs.
Therefore, linguists, scientists, and researchers from all over the world have studied and
interpreted proverbs extensively, considering them to be very important tools. Their scientific,
practical, linguistic, cultural, national, and universal qualities have all been the subject of numerous
studies. Proverbs are meaningless without the essential knowledge of a particular ethnic group,
including history, nationality, and place of residence. Without this knowledge, it is impossible to
comprehend proverbs and their essence.
