The article explores the phraseological expressions in the German and Uzbek languages, focusing on how they reflect the national mentality and worldview of each culture. Phraseologisms, as significant cultural and linguistic tools, mirror the values, traditions, and philosophical outlook of a society. This study examines how phraseological units express historical experiences, religious beliefs, and social views, while also considering their cultural significance in the context of national identity. The comparison of German and Uzbek phraseologisms reveals their respective roles in forming cultural integration and understanding of national selfhood. By analyzing these linguistic expressions, we gain insight into how language functions as a carrier of culture, identity, and worldview.
