This article analyzes the linguocultural essence of similes and their role in national thinking. Similes are considered not only as artistic expressive devices, but also as linguocultural units that reflect a nation’s worldview, cultural values, and mode of thinking. By comparing similes in different languages, special attention is paid to the system of national perceptions and images manifested through them. Based on examples from the Uzbek and Persian languages, the article examines national characteristics and cultural codes expressed through similes. In addition, the educational, aesthetic, and communicative functions of similes are also discussed.
