Abstract

This article presents a comparative analysis of phraseological units reflecting the concept of “tolerance” in English, Russian, and Uzbek languages. Phraseological units, as a crucial part of the linguistic worldview, convey cultural characteristics, historical experiences, and social values of a society. The study identifies key differences in the conceptualization of tolerance: in English, tolerance is associated with patience and restraint; in Russian, it is linked to endurance and perseverance; and in Uzbek, it emphasizes harmony and mutual respect within the community.
