This article provides a comparative lexical-semantic analysis of expressions of sadness in Uzbek and English. The study examines the semantic structure, synonymic relations, phraseological units, and linguocultural characteristics of lexical units expressing sadness. Particular attention is paid to the similarities and differences in the representation of sadness in the two languages. The findings demonstrate that although sadness is a universal human emotional state, its linguistic expression is closely connected with the cultural values, worldview, and social experience of a particular community.
