This article explores the translation transformations that occur when rendering epithets between Uzbek and English. Focusing on lexical, semantic shifts, the paper analyses instances where epithets are altered, omitted, added, or replaced during translation. The aim is to identify common patterns and challenges in conveying the nuanced meaning and aesthetic effect of epithets across these two linguistically and culturally distinct languages. The analysis highlights the crucial role of translator decisions in preserving or adapting the expressive power of epithets in the target text.
