This article focuses on the reflection of the concept of «Politeness» (Odob) in the phraseological and paremiological reserves of Uzbek and English languages. Definitions of these reserves are provided, along with examples in the form of proverbs and sayings in the compared languages. It is noted that various aspects of speech etiquette and categories of politeness in Uzbek philology have been addressed in numerous works by scholars and creative personalities of the country. The article includes quotes from these researchers’ works, emphasizing that politeness, ethics, good manners, and other concepts are reflected in most Uzbek proverbs. The author highlights that the foundation of this work is based on Uzbek proverbs and sayings, in analogy with English ones. Many translations and definitions are borrowed from the works of the literary classics of the two peoples.
