This article investigates the role of idioms related to “life” in shaping collective narratives about success, struggle, and destiny in English and Uzbek languages. Idioms are more than fixed expressions; they are cultural condensations that reflect shared worldviews, historical experience, and collective psychology. Through comparative linguistic analysis, this research explores how life-related idioms are utilized in both languages to encode concepts of personal and communal achievement, endurance, and fate. The study reveals key differences and parallels in metaphorical framing, idiomatic structures, and sociocultural resonance. It contributes to a deeper understanding of how idiomatic language informs the way communities articulate and transmit life stories and values.
