Investigating the distinct lexical characteristics of phraseological units that incorporate numerical components represents one of the most vital and foundational areas of modern linguistic research. This exploration fundamentally clarifies how numerical symbols bridge the gap between abstract mathematical concepts and culturally specific linguistic expressions. The aim of the study is to analyze the lexical features of phraseological units with numerical components in English and Uzbek. In this study the research methods include comparative, semantic and cognitive, qualitative analysis methods. Drawing from lexicographical sources and literary corpora in English and Uzbek languages, the study examines how numbers transcend their literal quantitative meanings to take on symbolic, cultural, and emotional connotations. The findings of this study reveal that while both languages share universal conceptualizations of numbers, they diverge significantly in cultures. This study enhances the fields of comparative linguistics, phraseology, and intercultural communication by providing insight into the cognitive and cultural factors that influence idiomatic expressions in both English and Uzbek languages.
